We are all hearing those rumors. The 773 rumor is pretty valid - so far we are up to 6 and it seems like AMR orders another one every 2 months or so - trickle orders. I foresee a fleet of at least 20 773s.
The Airbus rumor is gaining traction - I've heard from several folks in high places that a new fleet is coming. I've even heard of an "airine within AMR" domestic only using A319s/20s/21s.
The next few months will be very interesting. Contract should be wrapped up by the end of the year. They are gearing up for new hires by next year at the latest.

I don't quite believe the airline within an airline rumor. I do believe we'll be seeing a big order for 100-120 seaters very soon.
On another note, AA has just confirmed two August classes with no end in sight. They are also bumping up the recalls from 30 to 35/month. Our recall gurus have indicated that the bypass rate now is around 15%, so they are anticipating burning through the rest of the furloughees in about 5-6 months. They have called through seniority #9674.
The momentum is picking up.... hopefully our (industry leading!) contract is coming soon, in time for the first new hires.

Whether the 195's would go to AA mainline or JB is the wildcard. Those aircraft (in whomever's hands) would take a lot of the former AA flying that Eagle is now doing with the smaller (and economically dead) Embraer's. If AMR and the APA are really as cozy as the claims, then I'd think those aircraft would go to AA and the Jet Blue operation would either be folded into AA or operated as a single pilot seniority list (AKA "airline within an airline").
Let's see if the very near future has any bombshells.
