The 190's are being retired. The older 320's are also being retired. The 321's are likely NEO's that are waiting for engines.
30 of the 190's are going to Australia, the other 30 are being chopped up.
Oh ok, so some are going back into service at least, that’s good. Always sad seeing planes getting towed to the now-three (used to be two) scrapping areas on this airfield.
About 20 air miles to the northeast at P08, Spirit Airbus models are stacking up, after that airfield opened as a storage facility about a year and change ago. Sad.

Off the top of my head, Spirit has a quarter of their fleet down at some point this year for engine swaps. They've been hit hard by the P&W geared turbofan engine problems. It's why they're furloughing later this year.

Maybe don't chop those 190's up. Embraer’s first E190 Freighter conversion gets airborne in Brazil.
To JetBlue’s credit, for stored aircraft, their planes here look nearly brand new, if I didn’t know when they were built. Seemingly in pretty nice condition. Especially compared to many of the planes that end up here that are truly at the end of their service lives.
LOL.My family moved to the northern suburbs of Kansas City in 1989 and while we weren’t associated with TWA almost everyone in that side of town back then either worked for them or was neighbors/related to someone who did.
This man is absolute evil, hopefully you all can fend him off or fare better than our late red brethren.
JetBlue shares jump after activist Carl Icahn reports stake and calls shares undervalued
JetBlue has been cutting costs in an effort to return to profitability after a post-Covid travel surge and a blocked merger with budget carrier Spirit Airlines.www.cnbc.com
You didn't notice that -for all its current "populist" blather- 'Murica is STILL owned by Billionaires?
When we crawled out of the trees and started growing food, we created Agriculture. With Agriculture came Economy (division of labor), Law/Politics (rules), Hierarchy (HR to separate management from labor), Culture (to make us "believe" in and normalize ourselves to the new order), Society (to allow us "entertainment" when we weren't slaving away in the fields), and ultimately Religion (to put the fear of God into Urg - the big guy in our clan who used to be the Alpha-Hunter but now had to be relegated to just-another-employee, and scared-by-the-fear-of-smiting into subservience to the new dominant paradigm.)
Get with the program. It's only like 12,000 years old now.

Not sure of the current number, But 40ish by the end of this year, peaking to 70 next year, we just took delivery of our 100th Neo a few weeks ago.

Maybe we’ll open a gateway in EYW and a few in the Caribbean

Was on the FedEx JS last week and those boys in the van ride to the plane were talking about freighter 190’s coming over there to replace the 75’s in smaller markets.

Is an E190 wide enough to load a shipping can into? If not, this seems like it would be a weird move for mainline.
Granted they have used feeder airlines for a long time flying much smaller metal.

That's different. Why not an A320, around the same size a 757, if its a 321 and a wider cockpit.

It looks like former CEO Robin Hayes, who resigned saying "[the] extraordinary challenges and pressure of this job have taken their toll, and on the advice of my doctor and after talking to my wife, it’s time I put more focus on my health and well-being." is now, two months later, taking the role of head of Airbus North America.
As far as I can tell, Icahn's seats are new, and maybe not replacing anyone(?).

Yes 6 ULDs plus an LD3.
First the rumor is probably BS. Second the volume of a 757 is too much for most places it goes. We really need 190s or 737s. In Europe most of our flying is being downguaged to 737s and ATRs, flown by "partner lift".
