So, they actually only backfilled 6 active people. IN this case, since they set the min and max number as identical, they were required to backfill six and that was also the maximum they were allowed to do.
The other two that were given the bid (1 Sup and 1 LOA), aren't actually going to be flying out of IAH. If/when they leave mgmt/tk or return from the LOA then they will go to IAH 756 FO(or somewhere else if they take a different bid before returning)

The oldest plane at UAL is 5002, a PS 757 delivered in 1989. It's in great shape with all the mods. I doubt the PS planes will be retired anytime soon. Many of the rest of the PS Pratt 757's are overwater planes, and scattered through out the nose numbers. Several of the PS planes are the newer Pratt planes. #98 comes to mind. These have GoGo internet that actually works.
From what I've heard, the Hawaiian 767's are not replacement aircraft, and are in addition to the fleet. Renewing an interior to match customer experience with Polaris is not a puzzling upgrade. This will retain or attract customers. Internet that doesn't work won't, even over 3-5 year outlook.

Thanks, Dave. I have only flown PS planes a handful of times, and not in the last two years...I was under the impression they were all non-ETOPS.
Glad to hear your view that the Hawaiian jets are growth, not replacement.

The 727's couldn't get off the ground to ORD, so they did an equipment sub to the 757. The performance was eyewatering compared to the 727. But, it is not ETOPS. Several of the surviving Pratt PS planes are. All the PS planes got winglets, as did many of the overwater planes. That was one of the deciding factors in what Pratt 757's to retain.
