Surely not all of them.

There are quite some frames hitting the 15 year mark (standard leasing contract duration) in 2022 and 2023. An early retirement of those plus aging owned frames could reduce the fleet to around 80 whales by the time demand recovers.

That would certainly have an impact on potential recalls, hence my question.

Anyone knows how many frames they actually have pilots for atm?
