Which platform at which base?

I copped a squat on a white platform with a water-powered disposal system this a.m.

It had an ejection handle on the side.

Very choice!

PHL is a major hub. It's AA's European hub. What future would you give PHL?

AFP, you're much too kind. I would have gone this route.

That's because you're searching for "airplanes" and "fleets", finding platform info is much more demanding.

That is an excellent question - I would be interested to understand that big picture as well.

I doubt PHL will go away, or international city pairs go away, as aircraft get retired. Old a/c get replaced by other a/c.

JFK has O/D traffic to fewer cities and PHL has more connections and destinations.

Me too. Problem is as of now no one knows what that might be.
Plenty of rumors with nothing to back them up. For equipment and bases nothing is certain. Changes have been pretty minimal this past year and it's hard to expect anything drastic in the future. Certainly I would not plan my future around a small base and anything other than MIA and DFW could be subject to substantial change also. At least at AA platform would be the wrong word to use because nothing is that thought out and steady except for the very short term. You have to be very flexible or a career here is not for you IMO.

plat·form
ˈplatfôrm/
noun
1.
a raised level surface on which people or things can stand.
"there are viewing platforms where visitors may gape at the chasm"
2.
the declared policy of a political party or group.

Seems to me platform is ALWAYS the wrong word to use!!

No truer words have ever been spoken. You can't even depend on retiring from the same company that hired you, much less depending on a base or aircraft.
