it looks like 2/3 of all RJ CA will be hired away by the majors in 2022. Whether AA needs that lift, most all the RJs will not have sufficient CA to fly their planes. There will be a consolidation, and radical changes whether you like it or not.
If AA can fill both E175 and E145s, but they cannot fill all the planes with CA to fly them, guess which ones will make them more money.
