Yup. As far as I have ever known, AAG never ever leads. They are always following Delta and United. They are hell bent on RJs. Good luck.

Then you haven't been around very long. AA held off against scope longer than anyone. Before bankrupcty all they had for dual class RJs were 47 CRJ700s at Eagle. Delta was the first to give up 70 seat and then 76 seat scope (also 50 seat jet scope if I remember correctly). Continental had 275 E145s for only 3 hubs and United lost the 70 seat scope in bankruptcy. AA is only hell bent on putting all their new 76 seat RJs in the system to catch up to Delta and United. After few more years AA will start to replace 50 seat flying back in house as well, its just that Delta and United are years ahead bc of when they merged and AA has a bunch of 50 seat aircraft contracts that were already in place at the time of the merger.

Wonder how many FO's are going to try to sneak on early during the CA window just to see if it works and get in an early trade or two? System crash looming.

You can thank the APA for that show of strength against scope erosion.

True but AAG is holding a sweet hand. They could throw bonuses and possible pay raises at the problem for a while. Saving money all the way even if we get to a dollar below mainline pay, they are still saving. Think of the 16 percent company contribution, et al....
