Not many regional aircraft are "scheduled" to leave the AA system in 2016 but a lot are being added. Good luck with that flow in 2016 with AA being stagnant seniority wise.
AA will be flying more block hours just with less aircraft which still requires more pilots, that coupled with retirements and AA will be hiring every year going forward. If you don't believe the flow will work I assume you have your apps out to other airlines?
