Did AA plan for that with bids and staffing? Or are people in line for a 3 month fall vacation?
Have you seen that cockpit? Those guys deserve a vacation. All those dials make me dizzy

Most fun I ever had flying a jet, and that includes the 757. There's something about all those round dials, cables, and exhaust amidst today's Barbie jets that fly themselves.

Sad to hear; always wanted to fly Super 80s for AA.

Not only sad to see Douglas jets going way, but also sad to see the polished AA going away. Always enjoy seeing the remaining polished Super 80s at the gates.
