Flying them to the US for storage to an airfield which also has a scrapyard does not mean they will be scrapped. The article probably contains the usual mistakes you expect to find in newspapers. However the sad truth is that smaller aircraft like the A318 are now less attractive. If these were really all 737-600s and destined to be scrapped which I doubt then it would be interesting news. Meanwhile until more reliably confirmed I would take it with a pinch of salt.
