No. It's not. It's because rather than pay off debt, AA has bought back it's own stock.
Airlines with the newest fleet:
1.) Spirit
2.) Frontier
3.) Alaska
4.) JetBlue
5.) Hawaiian
6.) American
Wonder who among that list has the most debt? Take a wild guess, and then tell me that fleet modernization has anything to do with American and it's debt problem.

Either way this is leagues above my background but I wouldn’t say the ship is exactly on fire here...

It may be cheaper to have the debt than it is to buy back equity at this point.
