Will AA & DL order more or will UN stay ahead? I do not know.
Do you really wanna go to an airline that’s putting half its eggs in the international basket and hiring for United next rather than retirements? UA is gonna be massive and one downturn is gonna be detrimental to their pilot group
AA/DL are hiring for retirements for now and not growth. Worst case a recession hits and they chop from the head instead of the toe with retirements and early outs
