I rarely have a broken plane on the AA side. The 145's are always broke. While they are overweight with 44 adults and 60 bags, that not an airplane issue, that's a weight and balance number issue.
The 145s are not always broke. Maybe you will see one MEL on a plane once in a while, but not always. These planes are kept in great shape.
44 adults and 60 bags, please, we do that all the time with 50 people an 60 bags. You are giving misinformation.
