United Airlines has maintained a pretty intact fleet throughout the crisis. It was the only one of the big three not to retire hundreds of planes.

Yes, and there is a pretty big difference.... Retiring means that you are taking them off your certificate, where parking them is just temporary and where you may have to do inspections, you do not do nearly as much to bring them back out. Putting them back on your certificate is quite time consuming and costly
