MIA supposedly was going to be the second Airbus base at AA. DFW first base, no news on which bases next or when that will happen.

I bet ORD.

US has the 330's. IMO it will be a long time, if ever, before AA pilots are flying 330's out of MIA.

Early deliveries are mostly 319's. Eventually the majority will be 321's.

Who, what, when, where, why, etc, etc as far as MIA, 319 vs. 321, cities flown, is unknown right now.

I'd bet ORD is behind MIA and LGA. High altitude/thin city pairs in S. America and transcons is my reasoning.

I thought the first 321s were supposed to replace the 767-200 on the JFK-SFO,LAX flights. I have heard the same regarding MIA and DFW being the first bus bases. It just doesn't make sense if the planes they are replacing are only flying out of LAX, SFO, and JFK.

The first airbus deliveries are the 319 and believe they are going to DFW and MIA. The 321s come towards the end of this year and are suppose to replace the 767-200s on the transcons.

First 319s in DFW only, first flights in Aug. No MIA yet. First 321s in Nov to JFK.

A320 Q&A says DFW then MIA.

AApilots home page says DFW domestic in August, international in November or December.

First A321 delivery is November. Two by end of December. No word if 321T's or regular 321's.

Don't recall any official word on when JFK bid status, or transcons, start.

Slice, I was told the 321s would be first used strictly on transcons, hence my JFK comment - although I guess they could go to LAX too. But I was told JFK.

True... but the lack of layout planning is MORE than adequately made up for with the oh so pleasant scenery to watch walk hither and yon...

:D

Is there much 767-200 flying in MIA that will be replaced by the 321?
