The AA regional network is simply in a state of transition. The pilots shortage has forced AAG to make some unplanned changes, but the future plan hasn't changed. The clues are there, one just needs to look for them without letting their own "facts" cloud their vision.

Some are and some clearly are not doing that. Another clue ?

The 824 is being accelerated a bit to ensure that arbitrated situation is no longer in play at future point X. Was it a coincidence the AA/LUS merger was consummated on December 9, 2013 just days AFTER the last Letter 3 flow and the beginning of street hiring/824 flow at AA ?

Perhaps I am simply just "out of touch" with the situation as another claims though ?
