As much as I hate to say it, I think AA will probably stay the same size as it is now and could contract further. As the military leave guys and those that deferred come back, I don't see meaningful recalls occurring anytime in the foreseeable future. Given AA's section 6 openers for massive productivity increases (i.e. a lot less pilots), the fact that we've probably seen the bulk of retirements for now, and the fact that the over 60 crowd is likely to fly-till-they-die, I wouldn't be pinning hopes on being recalled.
