Yup. May, April, and before as well. Those who have completed indoc are good. Those with CJOs still waiting are on hold even longer.

American is in better shape than most with aircraft. American's problem is their business model. They tried to play cute with booking channels and alienated business customers. They are trying to build a super awesome domestic network and scaling back on international (especially long haul). They seem to think Southwest and JetBlue are their primary competitors.

Now the chickens are coming home to roost and the puzzle palace is in panic mode. Retirements will certainly soften the blow and hopefully prevent any backwards movement.

Where are you seeing the XLR is delayed? Latest info I see is 2024 Q4, which matches the company’s guidance in last SEC filing. I’m not going to say it won’t slide, but from Airbus’ website, they say certification is imminent.

You keep thinking that. It is a combination of not increasing debt and getting your operation in order, properly examining your CASM, entire cost structure, pricing, etc. When your load factors are 85%+ and you are barely treading water, the last thing you want to do is continue to grow the problem. AA truly needs to start from scratch and analyze the entire operation to determine what they want to do. Delta and United decided to go the premium route, is there enough room for a third “premium” carrier in the US? (Not that AA will ever achieve “premium” status).
