Those planes do require a lot of maintenance they are getting old and spend most the year in Arizona and TX heat I assume that adds to wear and tear. Aside for the MX I think it’s comical AA is looking at Mesa to fix things.

You think those problems are any better at the other AA regionals?

Yeah, I agree they took a quote out of context and ran with it. However, there could be some truth to this as well. I suspect we also are quick on the trigger to cancel for maintenance over other reasons. And, I suspect our American dislikes cancellations for controllable reasons.

They also talked about how more pilots than needed. I wonder how much this is to overcome cancellations due to crew rather than the given explanation.

It’s the worst at DFW and only Mesa and Envoy deal with that.

They don’t have a full year of late flights from it yet, they will.

Give CLT a try for a month, you’ll have an appreciation for everywhere else after that.

We gave CLT a try a few years ago.
