Yes, & as a result MANY guys who were holding 767 CA in JFK can hold nothing better then MD80 CA in STL or 767 FO in JFK. Some even fell off 767 CA all the way back to MD80 FO. It was a horrible staple job, & the fence around STL is a joke because AMR turned STL into a ghost town. A small percentage of AA Mainline flying remains in STL, most of it taken over by RJs. Personally, if RAH pilots don't have access to equivalent size equipment to F9 pilots @ time of purchase then they shouldn't have access to that equipment period.
