Yes CO does have the youngest fleet in the nation but is it really better? Just last week I flew BWI-CLE and those aircraft were the worst I have EVER flown on in my life.
On a side note, how exactly do they determine who has the youngest fleet? Because jetBlue truly has the youngest fleet - as all their aircraft are under a year old.

Try flying on Impulse! All of its jet fleet are brand new 717s, and its fares are the lowest for decades. Only problem is that the 717 does not have a transcontinental range.

CO flies the youngest fleet among the US top carriers. It is ranked beween the top 5 in the world in this category.
The scale is the amount of aircraft of the carrier. I can start my own airline , purchase a new plane and be the youngest. It doesn't work this way. They do these calculations upon the size of the fleet and there is a minimum number of aircraft.
