Quoting mhkansan (Reply 1): I was reading over on travel polls about how to get a Brazilian visa so I can go with the bird to Brazil! |

Quoting UA787DEN (Reply 4): Did they use the 77W so they could get a little bit of crew training/experience on the real bird before the GRU flight? |

Quoting american 767 (Reply 7): Gate space allocation available in MIA, so that airport planners have a better idea of what clearance is required. |
Quoting boeing767mech (Reply 6): Rumour has it there are stripes and some decals on this airframe that where applied in house at DWH |
Quoting JoePatroni707 (Reply 8): AA and UCC have asked for another extention till mid April. |
Quoting JoePatroni707 (Reply 8): From what I have heard this is true, aircraft will EIS with a generic hybrid scheem (basically AA's current over the grey n white). The new livery is postponed indenfianately. |

Quoting N243NW (Reply 12): (which would explain the weird routing over Mexico, if they're trying to test the global satellte wi-fi). |
Quoting american 767 (Reply 7): And last but not least: -Spotters in MIA will see it and shoot it with their cameras. |
Quoting liftsifter (Reply 14): Anyone else feel like they're pulling this out way too long and wasting precious revenue time? |
Quoting JoePatroni707 (Thread starter): Leaves DFW at 0800 arrives MIA at 1337. Departes MIA at 1400 arrives |
Quoting JoePatroni707 (Reply 16): at this point it will EIS as you see it. |
Quoting N243NW (Reply 18): I'm not any more informed than you are, but I very much doubt this statement. For the airline to debut its brand-new flagship aircraft on one of its most prestigious international routes with nothing more than a blank placeholder nightmare would be a PR fiasco. I have a feeling that AA's got something up their sleeves for this aircraft, and there are still more than 2 weeks to go before EIS. |
Quoting NorthstarBoy (Reply 20): Any idea why GRU for the 77W and not something with more percieved prestige like LHR or NRT? |

Quoting american 767 (Reply 7): -MX crews in MIA, so they get introduced to the new bird, although most parts are common with the 772. |
Quoting DocLightning (Reply 21): To debut the flagship in some hybrid livery makes no sense for two reasons: 1) The aircraft would have to be pulled out of service and the livery painted once the new brand is revealed, meaning loss of revenue. 2) It would make the airline look disjointed and dysfunctional. Image means a lot in this sort of business, don't forget. |
Quoting rj777 (Reply 31): Ya know, I was just thinking..... does anyone remember how Aerolineas Argentinas used to have a double A on their tail? What's to keep AA from doing the same thing? |
Quoting JoePatroni707 (Thread starter): It will be flying a company charter today under flight numbers 9708 and 9709. It will be carrying members of aircraft maintenance and inflight products division. Leaves DFW at 0800 arrives MIA at 1337. Departes MIA at 1400 arrives back in DFW at 1604. Still all grey. |
Quoting SJUSXM (Reply 9): 20 days until April 1st. |
Quoting NASCARAirforce (Reply 37): Why is it taking 4 1/2 hours from DFW to MIA? |
