Just wondering if you guys have noticed planes becoming older and older nowadays. I took a look and the average fleet age of American is now 12 years and United is over 13 years.

Given how profitable airlines are nowadays, should we start expecting some major refurbishments in the next year or two? Do you think there will be some major D checks coming up in most airlines?
 
Barely broken in, but yes, the airlines and those who track this stuff know that they need maintainence. That's why places like Orlando, Tampa, and Lake City exist.
