When did UA get its first 320? Today's retirement started operation in July 1993. When did bobnetters have their first 320 flight? My first on UA was 4-30-94, but my first 320 on any airline was on AF on 3-31-89.

indeed! UA got their money's worth.
I'm fine with retirements as long as there are replacements. Hasn't been the case for most of my time at UA.

According to Airfleets, the plane (N401UA) is 29.7 years old. It's had a great run.
