also everyone said the same thing about that 320 with the tailstrike but it was still getting worked on in IAH as of a few weeks ago so maybe she’ll fly again.

Even “if” it flys again (I respect its privacy), it’ll be the gimpiest bird in the fleet.

I guess see paragraph 1. I would assume the Airbus was a lot younger of a plane than 32 and has plenty of life in it. The 767-300s are all pretty toasted at this point.

As far as the "damage", there's plenty of photos out there floating around to see as far as the exterior "skin wrinkles" and damage. Nothing definitive yet as to the airframe's future, but in speaking with someone who's seen it in person, most likely a suspected Hull Loss on the initial view.
The revenue flight on the 29th was EWR - IAH. So there's no confusion or bad rumors for those pulling up crew lists, the working crew has been "scrubbed" off the crew list as it presently stands. Those who are on the list right now were DH Pilot's/not the working crew. The working Capt was an LCP (UA speak for Ck Airman) , the FO was was a new hire on an OE leg. It's rumored that the FO was a former FA prior to being hired as a Pilot at United.

I heard from a DL buddy that the DL Azores 757 was leased and the leasing company wanted it fixed.

We fly they manage, I doubt anyone here is privy enough to the economics of the situation to make a truly educated comment on whether or not it’ll be scrapped.
