Your thoughts here. Where will AA be? How big will AA be? B757/767, A333 and E190 will be gone in a few weeks. How much are we going to shrink in terms of fleet and crews?

With only 15 332s could they and 47 older 772s be far behind? Capacity probably won't be needed for a long time. Heard the stored aircraft will be a good source for parts though saving a little bit of money anyway.

much more of a domestic or western hemisphere airline for the next few years. Most new routes suspended, no India or Australia stuff. We'll be 70% of our Jan 1 2020 size by the end of the year. Only 4 type ratings on property this time next year. We'll furlough ~1500, but they will be recalled relatively quickly. Expect to double down on CLT/DFW/DCA, which were always the only places we really made money. These are all just my guesses, I'm not smart, but I've been studying this thing very hard. At the end of the day, we're slaves to demand, the company will not pay us to do nothing in perpetuity. What do others think?

honestly... I think no one from Trump, Congress, medical experts, Wall Street, Doug, Captains who’ve “been there”, me, you, or anyone else have any clue how this play out. Wild speculation at best.

this is a “new one” for America and at this point all you can do is sit back and prepare for worst and hope for best. I literally kept myself up at nights worrying and reading and wondering and crunching numbers. I’ve gone over my finances and no exactly where I sit and how long I can go without a job.

I’m done with it. No more news. No more watching stock market. No more AA/APA blasts. I’m putting a hiatus on all of it and gonna take advantage of this time to connect with my kids, make some long overdue phone calls to old friends, help my neighbors out who need some help, and fix some crap around the house. All I can do. I’m not that smart and people wouldn’t listen to my ideas anyway.

Amen! And until I get the displacement notice or furlough notice, I will do my job as normal, and live life as normal. I will also be restructuring my finances, which isn't a bad idea regardless.
