I am only speculating: but Embraer has a facility at MLB (I know they did not build the CRJ's). Maybe something to do with that?

The Embraer facility at MLB is 100% private jets, no commercial, and as you say, I'm not sure what they'd want with a couple old CR2s.

There is also a third-party mod facility at MLB which does interior work on aircraft. They've had numerous types and airlines in there so I would guess this is more likely.

ZW does routine maintenance at both MLB and ROW. This is part of the return to service for their fleet. Most of the frames rotated through one or the other before returning to service. I don’t usually post routine maintenance for UAX fleet unless for paint or interior mods.

A UA webinar with The Point Guys yesterday confirmed the 752PW fleet of 11 high J lie flat units, stored at ROW since March, have been retired. They are now removed from the UA Fleet site and placed on the Fleet removal page. Years of dedicated service by these workhorse units, of which 5 were 1989-1993 units and 6 were 1997-1998 build. The 40 752RR units in international configuration should soldier on until the A321XLR enters the fleet.

That makes sense, thank you for the explanation. I understand it could become tedious! I reported it because the Fleet Site shows them as parked/stored at ATW or DAY...they are now elsewhere and ROW and MLB seemed notable.

A very sad day. I hate seeing these tremendous workhorses get sent to the glue factory.

Long live the Seven Fifty Seven!

Would have loved to see 11 752RR getting canned instead!

So many great memories when they were still in 3 class configuration seated in row 9 in business with what always seemed like an entire basketball court of space ahead of you. A plane pilots love and passengers love but whose economics no longer rise to the top of the class.
