These LOA's sent to the wholly owneds have confirmed that AA 100% is holding all QOL improvements tied to PBS. So instead of slowing attrition they simply confirmed that the time for "latteral moves" is right now.

It'll be interesting to see how AA manages in CLT, PHL, and DCA when PSA runs out of Captains.
