Go back a few pages in the AA interviews and class dates thread. Most of the drops have been listed there. The drops are predominately 737 MIA, 75/76 MIA, S80 DFW, with an occasional A320 NYC...with the 737 MIA going senior. I think I heard the last class had the bottom guys getting DFW S80.

With ongoing vacancies, it wouldn't take long (unless equip not MD80, then 6 month lock in before award)

Heard they're adding a couple of S80 instructors with plans to run 22 crews/mo for the foreseeable future. So I guess it's a pretty good chance that DFW S80 remains a newhire option for a while.
The latest bid closed and DFW 767 FO was only about 600 from us newbs. The escalator should speed up a little when the 787 bids come out I'd guess.

In March we were told 137 at ye2014 and retirement of 27/yr thereafter. The math on that equates to ye2019 for the last retirement. But other folks have mentioned 2018.
Supposedly, from a GS instructor, they committed to purchase 89 fuel kits for an AD req'd by 2018 (iirc) so it would seem that quite a few will still be in service for a while after that.
