Not that I want to be pedantic, but that's a rather sweeping statement. The decision to scrap would depend on things like the number of flight hours and takeoff/landing cycles on the air frame and the number of other worn parts, hitting meantime-before-failure on large numbers of parts/assemblies, such that it may be more economical to scrap.
