The World’s Richest Airlines Can’t Get Enough Hand-Me-Down Jets
Southwest scours the globe for bargains on used Boeing 737s Cheaper fuel means aging planes are less of a drag on profits (www.bloomberg.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Oh, they can get enough. I know of 12 737-700s that are lass than 15 years old waiting for a buyer. No glut in the market.
negotiation - someone with 12 has a bigger dream
United's 500's left the fleet almost a decade ago, they didn't all retire to the desert, but
while I'm sure there are 100's of used 37's around the world, they may not meet SWA's specs
for cycle life and or age.

Hopefully those old and worn -300s will be replaced, they still have steam gauges! Yikes, how does anyone fly them nowadays??? LOL
gauges never made airplanes fly
Marcel: That's a joke, son! Steam gauges went out with DC-3's.
A just average decent pilot with experience on any plane should be able to land it without any gauges. That was a test used in the 70, just like getting out of a spin or an incipient spiral. Today many glass gauges pilots can't figure out the fuel needed to reach destination and have to use BRS to drown a $250.000 glass equipped plane in the ocean ROFL. Today just ask anyone to figure out the square root of any 6 digits numbers without a calculator, Hint!!! Don't look for only glass gauges pilots.
