Yes, AA is apparently grounding 25 80s this year, but they are still taking delivery of 2-3 737s each month. I am pretty certain that the deliveries will continue on into 2011 as well. While the parking of the 80s sounds bad, in reality, the fleet as of a few months ago included 12 in storage, 14 Spares, 5 MX, 3 Unassigned and 2 being modified. So, the parking of the 80s may not really have that much of an impact. I'd be shocked if the recalls end in August, but the AA management team has done stranger things in the past.
