AA’s business model seems to be to cancel as many flights per day as possible.
As per reroutes: by the 3rd day of my last trip, I had been rerouted 4 times. I’d say looking at the reserve grid for most categories, we are at the limits on good weather days. All my reroutes were due to being scheduled right up to the block limits with minimal rest.

Just to keep things accurate reroutes are near or at a all time low. I posted the exact numbers a few months ago but the overall number I think was around 4% of published rotations are rerouted.
Credit is down to what we averaged in 2013 before they added the large buffers.

My empirical evidence...I’ve had 4 rotations this calendar year that have NOT been rerouted. FOUR! And over half of those changed at least one layover location.

Yikes. What gives them the ability to do that? I know they had a pretty crappy duty period minimum which required about an extra 3-day/month to get what we do. Not sure if that changed in their last contract. If not, we'd need to take a pretty solid concession to get back down to AAL.

I would love to see the reroute percentage broken down by fleet type. Sure, it is 4% for all fleets...but that translates into 50-60% or more of MD88 and 717 rotations.

Haven’t had one yet on the 737.
And probably extremely rare of the widebodies.

Rumor has it the new(ish) VP of business operations and planning, Mr. Gumm said he could fly the same schedule with 1000 less pilots which is why hiring has slowed down just to replace attrition. It also appears to be why everyone is getting rerouted, the optimizer is at max, trips aren't hitting open time, credit is being driven to zero, and split rotations are becoming the norm. So I wouldn't expect hiring to sky rocket any time soon.

I’m on the 320 and I’ve only been rerouted once in the past year.
