Jump to post2 Things One Per CDC cloth masks do not stop transmission of the COVID so if your going to have a mandate make it for N95 Masks that work its like mandating airbags on cars then taking out the fuse so they dont go off in an accident.

Jump to postSo lets have a mask mandate that wont prevent the reason for having them. CDC has said cloth masks dont work so why have it? No maybe they should require N95 mask that does work and does make sense so its this non-sense from the people in charge that leaves a lot of people scratching their heads and...

Jump to postWill Doug Parker sign up to this? Not at all, Parker is very smart and has done a great job. Remember AA was on track to liquidate in 2011 before he led the US/HP purchase of AA. WOW US need a date to the prom bad otherwise they might not be around. AA was no where close 2011 to liquidate in fact t...

Jump to postIf AA could have another 100-150 gates then PHX would close but until then it will be a hub and LAX will serve the most profitable O/D routes
Jump to postAUS from what I hear is a very good performer for JFK on AA
Jump to postAA is not canceling LAX-SYD QF reduced theirs so AA would start theirs.....If anything it will go back to 77w
Jump to postWell JV will help they went from 77W to a 789 on SYD and AKL went to seasonal with JV we should see SYD go back to a 77W and AKL will go back year round maybe a AA dfw flight added

Jump to postAA Unions had sever distrust for AA management team and rightfully so, when Arpey refused to take AA to BK as he saw the turn around coming and felt they owed the employees their pensions AA's board disagreed with him and brought Horton in only to file for BK.

Jump to postAA went to BK to shed pension it was costing them around 1 Billion extra vs DL/UA/US that's a lot to make up. They went in with lots of cash and with they would have never been forced to liquidate they used BK as tool that's it. While AA should have done it in 2003 they waited too long and Arpey saw...
Jump to postit didn't help that the employees are suing over the reaction to the uniforms.....Also Kirby going to UA was the thinking that after DP ISOM will continue the HP way
Jump to postTake care of your employees and they will go above and behind for the customer. AA employees took pay cuts from 2003 thru 2015 they were lied to and taken advantage of from CEOS Carty/Horton so much so they saw DP as the CEO with a cape on he promised the world and he has failed to live up to those ...

No A350 for AA and with costs rising they are looking at reducing fleet type faster than they had planned before. So you will see 330s go quicker.
Jump to postWhen all restrictions are lifted CUBA-USA will be a boom until then they will strugle
Jump to postThis really has nothing to do A vs B there isn't much a 350 can do that their current fleet can't. Its comes to money, operating efficiency, pilots. I bet they have no penalty to pay if they cancel the 350 esp if they convert it to 321. They got such a good deal on their current of 321's that if som...

Jump to postAA takes about the 190 as an oddball fleet too little of them so either AA will need to have around 50 A350 or none at all same with the A330 having only 25 in a huge fleet causes problems
Jump to post330 will go as well when the time is up and the 787 will replace them....I don't see a A330NEO I just see 787/777 for long haul very simple very flexible
Jump to postI doubt they will have to pay anything to cancel they got a great deal on 321/319 so much so if someone buys them cheaper they get money back. My feeling is that they will stick with the 787/777 for long haul they want to keep it simply
Jump to postAA in ORD is focused on O/D Last I say they had like 60-70% O/D and UA had 40%. I see AA uses ORD differently than UA that's all. I know Parker said that ORD will make money and they will trim some money losers that's it.
Jump to postIf these actions are false and AA caves in and offers something to make them happy you will see DL/UA/SW next
Jump to postThere are 3 sides to every story yours mine and the truth....I have a feeling AA will be throwing some free flights at them to shut them and this just creates bigger problems just like the DAO effect rewarding people for bad behavior.

Jump to postThe problem is the average customer only fly's AA once a year at most so they really don't care about someone who goes out their way to fly them they are going for that customer that looks at the cheapest airfare and that's it.

Jump to postStarting and stopping the routes will end up costing more $$$ than sucking it up and keep flying the route while they re-file with a admin that seems to be more business friendly. With that being said I can see SYD going to a 789 5x a week and akl going 3x a week if they don't get it approved.
