Oh please, they're not being scrapped. But a working airport is not a proper place to store large jets.

Which is what I said.

Short-term it's fine. If the expectation is that the MAX will be allowed to fly in a few weeks it makes sense to keep the airplanes at strategically chosen airports. This'll make it easier to bring them back into service. If the assumption is that the MAX will be grounded for a long period of time it makes more sense to stash them at a graveyard like Victorville.
Utterly bizarre.
