The 737 absolutely blows away the crappy Euro Plastic Barbie jets on performance, that’s why we are not strictly a Euro Plastic Barbie jet airline (thank God.) Sorry but your “perfect world” is but an opinion, probably influenced by Euro Plastic Barbie telepathic waves emitted by the barking dog/screeching monkey otherwise known as the PTU (Passenger Tormenting Unit)
737 forever baby! Old Skool :-)

(Unlike our 321’s, which remind me of the old saying about 727’s, total hours, and time in climb... )
Hey, let me know if you ever get a layover at SNA. I’ll pick you up and we’ll grab some beers on the coast.

72% discount
It’s being reported that JetBlue got up to a 72% discount of the A220. It seems like Airbus is looking to cut a deal to sell some planes. You’d think AA might be interested in such a good deal, but I’m not paid enough to see the big picture.

AA has already doubled down on large RJs and the 320 series. Not a big deal as long as we can get some. I like the plane. But Spirit paid $14m a pop for their off lease 319's, with the brand new lowest CASM plane going for ~$22m a pop with a fixed cost airframe so it can be kept 30+ years vs the Airbus at 20. Makes your monthly fixed cost $61k each. That's pretty freaking low, an A319 lease is around $250k for a new airframe. And that doesn't even include the fuel savings.
It seems AA was about four years too early to refleet.
