AAL has a huge demographic issue and I suspect the are looking at as many 27-30 year olds as possible.
I'm 43 (a survivor of the lost decade at American Eagle) and if it weren't for the flow through arbitrations I think they'd pass right over me.
I've been flying AA passengers safely for 16 years but that doesn't matter I guess.

That is my take on it too.
I am 47, scheduled to be in the end of Feb class as an 824.
They are getting so many 40+ age group through the flow that if I were them I would be pulling from the 25-40 age group for the remainder.
See ya on the flip side.
