I’m curious how quickly someone could get ORD based with AA and what aircraft are based at ORD. Also, is there a resource to see what aircraft are based at the various domiciles for the various airlines.

Thanks in advance!
Updated AA Stats This doesn't have all the answers but show's where ORD fits in seniority wise at AAL.

July 12th drop
So at the age of 45 would a guy like me be on the fence for the 737 or the A320?

I’ve been watching the drops and the amount of 737s is very high compared to most of this year. I know the drops are assigned by age so would be hoping for the A320 if I go to American. Currently flying the yellow bus right now.

You should be able to get the airbus no problem. I’m 41 and got airbus, plus a handful of guys younger than me. No guarantees but…

Always a crap shoot. In my class the very last slot went to a 320. I think he was 25. It's been a while and at that time we still had 190s and they were in the drop.

Does anyone know which aircraft would get me based in DFW the fastest? I've heard one guy on the 320 waited 6 months, not sure if this is still true.

currently 737 is the faster option to get to Dfw. But not by a ton.

At this point it only takes 19 months to be awarded DFW captain……
