AA wants the capacity the 900 offers, so, while we will be loosing some runs, we gain others. We just will have a lot more shorter legs to fly in a day.

The inside scoop I got on this was its not happening. This is mostly an Envoy pipe dream. They have been spreading this rumor within their ranks for some time. Its coming up now because the 175's are starting service in DFW and are taking some of the runs we got from them back.

I'm at envoy and I never really heard anyone talking about the 175s kicking out Mesa. Mostly, and unfortunately it sounds like more mad-80 flying. Where they'll put them all? Who knows. And fwiw, XJT flying our tail numbers in DFW is by far the most aggravating thing that's happened so far. IMO. At least Mesa is flying their own airplanes.

If we got CLT back, IAD would go junior again and CLT would be like PHX in terms of seniority. CLT had many short legs, the flying out of DFW is actually better than it was in CLT. CLT is just an incredibly convenient base for anyone living on the East coast for conmuting purposes. That is the ONLY good thing about CLT. For a jr CA, losing DFW and opening CLT would mean IAD. NO thank you... Now if you could keep DFW open AND open up CLT, it would make DFW an excellent base for jr CA's.
BTW, I dont think CLT is happening.

The company establishes for each day how many reserves it thinks it needs to cover the flight schedule for the day. If the number of reserves available is below that buffer number, then it shows red on our schedule adjustment software. What it means is lineholders would not be able to drop their trips on the day because there is insufficient reserve coverage. On a day when there are more reserves on duty than the minimum buffer, the day shows green. In theory, this would allow a line holder to drop a trip on that day.
