AC birds are being parked in various locations, which it seems you know.
Some discussion and some photos in this thread. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-...-coming-7.html
And, we know AC has a flock of MAXs nesting in MZJ as per this photo (posted in the 737 MAX thread). So I would assume AC's arrangement with this part of the desert would allow some additional parking (although it's getting crowded with some other big birds having recently arrived).

And 4 Rouge B763.
I guess it's for parking.

That is a lot of planes going to Kansas City! Surprised they aren't sending all of them to places in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas.

As for Texas, it's generally quite humid there, so not a great place to store aircraft - humidity, rather than temperature, is the biggest concern: (hot + dry) > (cold + dry) > (hot + wet) > (cold + wet).
Without having done any research on the issue at all, I would guess that MCI is better, from a humidity perspective, than most places in Texas.
