the only difference is that AA might be inclined to buy more new 700’s and fly them around with 65 seats as they do today. Their issue is that they are potentially supply constraint - as could be UA.
there are only so many 700 airframes left. I know that OO is looking in every corner to buy the used ones.
is there enough demand to build new ones? Who knows. Maybe with the right government subsidies for Canadian full employment.
