AA is large. But there is plenty of argument they can make to get it though. They are retiring 3000 pilots between now and 2021. They can argue they need us just to cover attrition. Not to mention that puts two major players in competition for the NW (DL and AA). I don't think it's too far fetched. The last thing I'd want is to do with JB. SW would be a much better option. But still not preferable, imo.
