I think DP and his group knew at some point they'd have to throw us a bone, the smallest necessary to keep things relatively stable. This will buy him some time but not much more. Unlike a previous post, I do not think most guys will retire early because they are financially in no position to do so. I also think 8% is too little too late. We are not at the industry standard and 2020 is too far away. So if AA is competing for passengers and pilots, they need to do much better IMO.
