Interesting Routing -- A320 purchased for parts?
Looking at flight aware for CLE saw UA 2707 A320 going CLE-GYR Goodyear Arizona which is.a aircraft graveyard. Inbound flight came Wednesday UA 2715 KFE-CLE from Iceland. Inbound flight 2 hour sit UA 2714 OSR-KFE from a city in Czech Republic. Any idea is this aircraft being retired.

Appears to be correct. Purchased from Vueling who has had it in storage in Ostrava, CZ for the past few months. https://aibfamily.flights/A320/1749
Looks like they had originally planned to take it to Tupelo (TUP) and actually had a flight scheduled to there a few days ago, but then changed to fly it to Phoenix Goodyear instead.

So it will be taken apart in Goodyear.
