Not very familiar with things at AA, but the 11 757s they are parking is interesting. They didn't seem to want to acknowledge it was even partly because of pilots bailing but the analysts pinned that factor as well as fuel and demand and maintenance issues on these older 75's. Got a buddy there who claims they are so far behind on checks on some of these jets that parking them is becoming the only option.
Take that for what it's worth. Just a pilot rumor, but I wonder about it and I wonder with a 60 day look back and the huge stock drop how many might head for the doors from here on out?
Another thing, if it's senior captains leaving mainly how does parking 757s help replace the top captains bailing?
Forgive my ignorance and correct me if I'm wrong here. Thanks. Dv
