So in that case how is United planning to staff these... or what routes they plan on sending these on
I am more surprised given the age of these birds (look to be 23-27 years of age). I guess UA thinks they can squeeze another decade out of them if they are on low-cycle routes?
The only route I can see this working on would be EWR-SNA.
