True, but SFO is the by far the best US gateway to Asia. LA is #2.

The 777-300 has got at least 10 more years at AA, if not more. They are all going in for a cabin refurb with the new business and PE seating like on the 789P and forthcoming XLRs. Isom said in a November 2024 industry event that AA is looking at the 777-200 future to see what the best options are but as of now there is no indication on how much longer that variant will be the fleet. I doubt we'll get much more info on future fleet strategy other than what we already know in the July 24 Q2 earnings announcement.

As for the 789P that this thread was started on, I read upthread they are getting 11 in 2025. AA has only indicated 8 for this year. 4 have been delivered. 2 more are sitting at PAE where official delivery/hand over occurs, likely soon. 2 additional frames are in CHS in pre-flight prep phase. That makes 8. 3 more have line assignments but haven't started assembly yet. 4 (including those 3 with line assignments) are expected in 2026 and then 3 more in 2027 for a total of 15. The remaining 15 will come in 2028 and beyond according to published AA info.

perhaps the last time we heard a peep from Mr. Isom.
