They all get rode hard and put away wet IMO.

We flew United to Hawaii (A319 and 777) and AA (757 and A319) back home and I don't think any of them were spring chickens.

United may be getting better my daughter took one 737MAX9 yesterday that was only 2 months old...

I was kind of irritated, when we planned our trip the year before (too far out to book tickets) they still had 747's going out there, I really wanted to go on one of those. By the time we went they had sidelined them, a few weeks later was the last 747 trip to Hawaii before United retired their last one (it was the route of their first 747 flight)
