20 MD-80s to ROW on 8/23
Heard from a buddy at AA that 20 MD-80s are headed to the bone yard tomorrow.
Did AA plan for that with bids and staffing? Or are people in line for a 3 month fall vacation?

Or are 20 being removed from service and will be flown out over the next several days?

It's not that they are grounding planes early it's that they delayed aircraft retirements until after the summer schedule was finished (most kids went back to school today and the schedule has been reduced). The MD80 drawn has been reduced from its earlier projections so that they will actually have more 80s at the end of the year than the plan was early on.
Nothing to be alarmed about. It's all planned.

The Admiral is too busy fuming about other things to actually ask the question himself.
