737 forever baby! Old Skool :-)
lol! J, the 319’s with “sharklets” ABSOLUTELY perform.
(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.

319's perform similar to the 757. But a much stiffer ride due to the wing.

321's = 727's but slower and much quieter and more comfortable.

Default 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.

Maybe they want to stop Embrarer's program in its tracks.

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.
