Did US receive any new A321s recently? Also, are they using the -321s on the PHX-ATL route? That used to be an A320....

US received 8 321s in 2008 and so far 11 in 2009.
I believe that they do use the 321 on at least 1 flight to ATL.

They have an A321 running PHX-ATL-PHX, it's flight 610 out and 35 on the return.

IIRC US will get 4 more A321 this year for a total of 15 for 2009. There are more on order, but off the top of my head I do not know how many remain for sure (25 stands out to me) for the next 3 yrs. I say this because I do remember that there were 40 or 41 on order when they exsercised some options and converted a few either 319 or 320's to 321's.

The 321 is a sexy looking airplane for sure, and I think it looks ok in the new colors. But, I thought the 321 looked more stunning in the old US Airways paint.

I think they should bring back the special paint schemes to the 757's or the A321's.

A 321 is a great choice for US domestic network. It has the right capacity and range .

It is indeed a sexy looking aircraft especially in the US livery.
Yet again one brand new aircraft flew by my office window in HAM to do flight testing. Always nice to see a US airlines domestic equipment over here! Smile

I work for US here in PHX and get to see these beauties as the arrive on the ramp. The interiors are flawless!

I really think the IAE engines on the "West" Birds help streamline the whole shape, the CFM's on the "Easties" make for a snubby appearance.

Ok, wait for the RJ to pass, cleared to push tail south Mike, and you're cleared to spin #2 in the push.

I think US received only 5 321s in 2008; 193, 194, 195, 507, and 508.

I am assuming that a new US 321 just got delivered today...A US 321 flew BGR-PIT a few hours ago.

Are they retiring other planes as they bring in the new A321's? Will they be hiring anytime soon?

Welcome aboard!

Probably N536UW. Supposedly this will be the first IAE-powered A321 for the East fleet.

737's are being retired for sure, mostly 733 IIRC. They had already shed some of the 757's, do not know if they will shed any more. I do not think so, as I believe they are operating at or near the minimum they needed for their ops.

I have no clue as to hiring.
