(Started at the end of Feb) The percentage is 75% of the mainline narrow body fleet. The save is I believe AA has 16 months to be in compliance after fleet changes. (I cannot back that up) The point being anyone spreading rumors saying PDT is getting 175s doesn’t even pass the common sense test. The cost of planes not to mention the cost to stand up a new fleet here would be astronomical. Money AA sure as heck wouldn’t spend now that this has kicked off. None of us know what the future will bring now so be smart, save your money. Stay safe.

Look at Italy and tell me this is some big overplayed virus. We are getting decimated, and retirements are the only thing making this hurt less.

Ha! We aren’t even staffed properly now! We’ll be perfectly staffed in the companies eyes If we park a dozen planes. Don’t think we are going to see any furloughs or downgrades, but anything could happen.
