True but I don't think AA will be adding too much long haul flying in the future, especially from the northeast to Southeast Asia.
I'd bet in the future the widebody numbers steadily decline as a result of international ULCCs and the ME3.

Not going to happen. I'll be happy if we just keep the international flying we have.
When I was in captain leadership class a year end a half ago Kirby came in and talked to us. It was very depressing. It's a constant battle just keeping the status quo.

Good thing they are spending billions buying back stock that. Good call Dougie.

What a joke. Meanwhile the jetBlue that landed after us took 20 minutes. I even took a screen shot of the flights on FlightAware to send to someone, but couldn't figure out who would care. Or if it would even matter.

Exactly. Im flat out embarrassed by our operation. Most (not all) of the agents and FAs are miserable and just plain nasty to our passengers. It's appalling. Combine that with our old, outdated airplanes and terminals and it really is scary.
AA is making money in spite of itself. During the next downturn things are going to get very ugly.
I just hold out hope that we can turn into some sort of low cost legacy. I know that's an oxymoron but we will not be competing with our hard or soft product.
