Some reduction. they just announced the daytime flight 777 MIA to GRU Sao Paulo is ending. It was a 3 day trip daytime/daytime. Very good trip.
Did anyone pick up on the earnings report that the 767/757 is completely gone mid 2020? I noticed.
MIA has some good flying on the 777. I did it for 4 years. Right now I think they have a DFW turn out of MIA. Nov-April is daytime EZE (Buenos Aires).
They used to have a 2 day LAX. And the LAX 777 pilots have a 2 day MIA.
CDG,MAD,BCN,LHR and Milan I think.

Just curious.. if you were on a certain aircraft, let's say the 787 doing intl in one smaller base but wanted to fly some destinations in another
base.. Do they have lines built in at AA to fly in a variety of airports or are they primarily built to be out and backs at only the airports served out of a certain base.
Sry that was prob written way more complicated than it should.

However, there are exceptions. There's an RDU-LHR trip. There's no 777 base in RDU, so it's staffed by some other base. In the past it's been any of them, but as of late, it seems to be staying in ORD. I believe it's a 5 or 6 day trip with deadheads to RDU on each end.
I've also seen 6 day trips where you fly from your respective base to LHR, then to another wide body base, then back to LHR and back home.
In other words, it's not common, but not unheard of.

The wide bodies typically start and end in their respective bases.

RDU LHR is sometimes a 767 but mostly 777. I see MIA crews A1 all the time on my MIA-RDU flights.

I don't think the whole earnings report would be on Jetnet.
It was when speaking with Jamie baker. They mentioned ALL 767's and 757's gone mid 2020.
Originally they were gonna keep 25 of each.

That's still seven years. Quite a while in aviation. Chances are a recession will happen before then and they'll go with that.
