As of a month or so ago, the long range plan calls for the first of the 47 772s to start leaving around 2030. Boeing getting their act together with 787 deliveries could accelerate that a bit. Another black swan event could as well. The “top men” we spoke to claim the company regrets retiring the 332s but won’t admit that mistake in public. They need every asset to generate revenue and get the debt load down, and retiring a paid-for asset in the near term would be idiotic, even for this incompetent management team.

Everyone knew the second big 787 order was to replace the oldest 772s. I imagine there will be another top off 787 order to replace the remaining 772s at some point.

You’re not wrong that, unless we see a new management regime, AA will lag UAL in terms of WBs. That said, if you aren’t really young, you’ll never see a WB CA at any of the legacies. Too many people already hired. I’d say you’d be best off going to FedEx, but they aren’t hiring.

I too hope the -200’s are here for a while longer, however I learned long ago not to rely on “hopes and dreams.” When it’s stated as recently as yesterday that wide-body international is not a priority, that’s the information I’ll go by. It’s also information that anybody looking to make AA a career should digest seriously and understand what that means.

I hope you're not advocating a return to a bachelor's degree being absolutely mandatory. I like to think that i function pretty decently without it.

Do you have an issue with flow throughs? I'm not a flow but I'm looking forward to a couple thousand more WO pilots joining our list who expect industry standard compensation as an absolute baseline. Encouraging disunity (anti flow through rhetoric) during section 6 doesn't help anyone but management.

Absolutely not. I think it's a great program and 99.9% do a great job.

But, there are a few that think their service at a wholly owned should trump other's. That's what I'm sensing here
