The only legacy that will provide the fastest movement going forward is AA, simply because they are retiring so many people, 700-900 a year, that is a huge number, and they haven’t been hiring like Delta and Southwest the last couple of years (no personal opinion on the job itself, simply retirements and movement). I have not been able to get hard numbers on United.
