All bets are off if any of that stuff happens.

As it stands right now - AA is still pitifully short on manning. I'm currently at the schoolhouse and rumors are flying around faster than a Citation I regarding some kind of 3 way circle jerk with JB, USAir and AMR, along with a whole other fleet type showing up on the property. Check airmen are also being hired at a pretty good pace. Something is undoubtedly in the works.
