No matter how many XLRs we buy.
That is something that comes from PLM and JC constant response to the, " why no wide body orders" question he always keeps getting supposedly.
" Not enough data and if the international market tanks, we can just park the 200's".
My pessimistic side isn't the parking of the 200's without replacement, it is what replaces them because it spells out this managements long haul vision. If the 787-10 replaces the 200's, that spells doom for the 300's being a small fleet and we know AA hates small fleets. If AA goes 350 or 777X, I can feel decent/better about the WB side of the house.
