Not sure if these rumors are true but I’ve heard them from a couple of people now.
We've heard rumors of our (OO) AA 175s going to LAX, PHX, or ORD at the end of the year...whatever AA's plan is pilots will be the last to know. I think the "new" (super old) 700s are going to DFW/ORD/PHX beginning in March.
