United has decided to warehouse all of its 737 MAX aircraft rather than just grounded and maintained in a ready to fly condition. (This may prove to be a very smart move on United's part.)

United also canceled MAX ops thru mid December.

There are probably 50+ towbars stored in one of the parking lots at their old HDQ complex in Elk Grove (near ORD)
