Management is sayin now (3/23) that they are going to start taking planes from that order in (I think) 3rd qtr, but, they are mostly replacements for the aging United birds.

Those 170s will be converted to 65 seats and flown for AA.

Correct!

There won't be any net growth on the United side, but if we can staff it I'd expect some additional AA flying.

Staffing it will be the challenge.

Yeah, management came into our GRS (MD), he essentially said we aren’t having any trouble hiring, the problem is the lack of CA’s.

Said there’s somewhere in the neighborhood of 130 ish FO’s with the mins but not upgrading for one reason or another.

He was not optimistic about CA staffing this summer….and of course, that doesn’t exactly motivate FO’s to jump into that mess when they can get hired out of here without PIC time now.

Bid all your vacation now. I smell a lucrative buy-back this summer.
