AA has a number of 737s parked in the desert, in Roswell, about 40 A/C. They are still working on them to get ready to fly again. Sure that would be their priority rather than others they retired. The limiting factor in August has not been planes, it has been pilots. Still a bunch of FO getting requal after being on furlough. Sept they should be complete, and ready to start a massive hiring wave. Even then, they are going to be short of pilots for awhile.
