E-190 or comparable. 175s would qualify too

Would they have to add more seats to the 175 to make it qualify?

I’m not sure the 175 qualifies as a Group 1 aircraft as it pertains to mainline...

I would consider the E175 a mini B737.

Group 1 would be E190, C-Series, and maybe A319 (not sure on the last one though).

Airbus is group 2, the 190 is the only group 1 aircraft that AA has

Right On. I wonder if AA will look at the C-Series? I know it would **** Boeing off!

I doubt it. From the last state of the airline meeting it sounded like AA wants to simply its fleet. Parker said they wanted to get rid of the 767 as fast as they can and now that they terminated the 350 deal to bring in more 787s to replace the 767, 330 and some 777s it sounds like thats certainly the case. My feeling is that they don't want to bring in another completely different plane like the C series to diversify the fleet any further.
