I mean AA is kind of playing the long game and getting their house in order. I doubt anything fleet wise would happen before 2030. However it would be nice in the future if they decided to order the 777X to replace the 777-3s, and maybe more 787s to replace the 777-2s. Who knows though, anything is possible.
