For a merger this size, and one of the last "big ones", I would imagine they would have more pressure from regulators so in a way, this is kind of part of the game I would venture to guess.

Fleet basing post merger
 

The AT&T merger with T-Mobile was 3x the size of the AA/US merger and the DOJ stopped that.

Looks like the fleet is starting it's makeover.

Can't be old. It's a minibus. If any AA bus qualifies as 'old' to you...

It's a USAirways minibus. Entered service in 1998

The AA busses have the new style winglets like the boeings

This one used to be painted in Star Alliance colors, have flown it many times.

Google said it entered service in 1998.

Ah! I stand corrected. I had no idea they were painting US planes yet.
