Default American Airlines A300s
I was curious if anyone knows how long American intends on keeping the A300s they have? My goal is to get on with American in the future and be based out of Miami, hopefully on the bus. Also, I am curious if anyone knows all of the A300 bases for AAL? I heard they have one is San Juan but the source of that info isn't exactly credible. If there's anyone here that works for AAL and is based out of Miami, I would be very grateful for any info. Thanks guys!

Greetings,

I am finishing A300 school this week in Big "D". The A300 bases are MIA, and LGA (Actually JFK). We have 34 Buses, and 3 will be returned in the next year. However we only have roughly 29 scheduled now anyway so it will not make a difference in lines.

We fly them mostly in the carribean, as well as GUA, SJO, BOG, LIM, and on occasion MEX.

They will not be replaces anytime soon. They are HUGE money makers for us, flying "massive" amounts of cargo. That would be a tremendous amount of lift to be giving up. When it does happen way in the future there will be aircraft ordered to replace it. (Hey Mark are you guys going to buy our A300s like all the 757s you are buying from us"

We currently have recallss going directly into the BUS in MIA, and LGA.

Hope to see here soon.

AA

P.S. While SJU is considered a HUB in the size and number of flights there are **currently** NO flight crews based in SJU.
