The S80 is getting 10 new slots a month thru August 2018 when all transition training will stop. This is apparently because a bunch of guys are bidding off and they can't hold them on it any longer.

No clue what the 2016 or 2017 plans were for the 757/767.

There’s a chance the drawdown has stabilized for a couple of years.

The pay isn’t worth the loss of seniority. The type of flying is the draw.
I wonder how much a 757/767 replacement announcement by Boeing would change this. If if flew in early 2020’s if American would delay retirements for another aircraft order.

Latest MOM estimates were 2023-2025(?).
767-300’s could be 18 months???

While it may not be closing I am not sure what destinations are left for LGA 767. MXP, MAD, CDG, and FCO all going to the LGA 777. Seems like all the smaller spots going to PHL 767 starting summer of 2018.
Face it JFK has been surrendered to DAL long ago and we are happy to retreat to PHL where there is less competition. Probably a smart move at this juncture but a major relocation for pilots being displaced.

I thought PHL and MIA were going to be the 76 bases moving forward when they whittle their numbers down.

Look at the bright side the pay cut from GIII to GII isn't a ton.

too much time on my hands today, but for what its worth...
LGA 767I currently does CDG, MXP, MAD, and ZRH. Rumors say
all but ZRH will go to LGA 777I next year and ZRH is moving to PHL.
Makes sense since MXP, CDG, and MAD already fly the 777 from MIA.
So I would strongly assume that 767 will be either small or nonexistent in NY in the not so distant future and PHL will have more of that flying. MIA I am not sure about again FWIW.

Network Planning guy said 767 will consolidate and die in PHL, so I’d say you’re on track. No idea about MIA 767

I would imagine the 757 would have to stay in MIA for no other reason than to do LPB. I don't think we have anything else in the fleet with the performance for that airport.

The 757 will probably be flying LPB until the end.

319’s, depending upon engines, can be in the 757 thrust to weight class.

319’s fly there from other cities.

Out of MIA it might be weight restricted but it has the performance. They were still using 727’s there about a decade ago. Hop over the mountain to VVI. Avianca is flying non stop to BOG in an A319 so it’s got some payload capability.
