I’m surprised American hasn’t scooped up those aircraft. The “old” Spirit 319s are in mint condition compared to the AA junkers.

Wrong engines for us I presume but yeah, their “old” airplanes, while run hard, are still in decent shape compared to a lot of legacy airlines.

I feel bad for the frontier A318s, they were only like six years old when they got scrapped

This really sucks.

United is still hiring so hopefully they’re picking some of those guys up.
