So the Boeing 727-100s and 200s are now gone. Followed by the Boeing 747-100s and 200s, and now the Douglas DC-8s 71s and 73s.
What do you think will be next to retire?
The early Boeing 757s with the Pratt and Whitney engines are about 25 years old now. I understand that many 757s are surplus to requirements. With the delivery of new Boeing 767s. Wouldn't it make sence to consider selling the early 757s?
This way, they could make their 757 fleet and all Rolls-Royce fleet, whilst right sizing their numbers.
Do you think the DC-8 will be sent to Roswell, New Mexico as scrap or sold ?

Would you Give it a Rest, please
I am sure that posting provides entertainment for some to spread totally false rumors. Maybe in a better climate that could be a great outlet. We are currently in very serious and stressful times. Please, refrain from titles and threads that increase the stress in this environment. Many of us look to this forum as a legit place for the sharing of info, let's try and keep the atmosphere in line with the times. I really do appreciate some of the fun responses that are in this and other threads, but to just throw a title like this when all airlines are under attack is really in poor taste. Many of our brothers, friends, and family at other airlines have been furloughed. We are facing this for the second time as an airline, the threat is real. Let's use this medium as a great place to share information that helps, not hurts us.

Are you management trying to start another rumor, my guess is yes just by your name?
