Who said anything about it being on a 700? We’re pulling several 200s off contract in ORD. Some have homes with United. I don’t think all of them are accounted for. It’s not impossible to think there’s some routes down there they could after. MEI and PIB is on the deuce. There’s several EAS routes currently being served by other operators (I used to work for one of them out of DFW back in the day).

The company was saved with half a million brake pads.

There are 10 200’s coming off contract. 5 are head d to United and I really don’t see a base opening with 5 planes. American done away with our 200’s for the 700’s. If we go to dfw it will be to take the 700’s from the other side of the house that can’t be staffed.

AA is also opening another 8 gates at DFW in Terminal E for their American Eagle operation. I suspect this will all go to Envoy, but there is an opportunity for growth.

I agree about the other side of the house, if you cruise their forum they have let some dispatchers go.... but what about Mesa and their DFW flying ( I don't know when their contract is up for renewal and how their staffing issues are)

Mesa contract is coming up in 2019. I would expect that CC is talking to AA management right now. This could do wonders for DFW and PHX. The operative word is "could".

I am sure there will be another 900 lite rumor just in time for the next TA.

If you vote in this 2% raise, all your base dreams will come true.

If I owned AA, OOperformance is going to need to get better for me to ink more flying.
But that is me.
AA seems fine with a mess when it’s on them.

It is all relative. Mesa's AA performance is supposedly abysmal....

Mesa losing AA contracts lines up with the DFW/PHX growth coming later this summer (no that is not a rumor). But I’m not sure what would happen with those 900s. I think AA owns most of them.
