Except that AA clearly wants single model/manufacturer operations. Your 700s were going away years ago no matter what anyone did or didn't do. You'll keep them through the summer since your shrinkage was slower than expected. Congratulations on a slowed flow so that you can staff AAs flying but lose the jets anyway to Mesa or whoever is cheaper then. We are all being played and carrying their water as the regional model dies a slow death over the next few years.
