AA returning 19 757's to lessor

Leasing is far different from buying.

Jetblue sells five aircraft and AA lets loose of all of these planes... Yet it'll be Blues Brothers that will get five pages of response that they're going out of business...

Well lets be honest here, there is a huge difference between the size of JB and AA.

So? Just as Blue Bayou said, they parked airplanes and dumped more. Are they getting new ones? Didn't think so. We send off 5 for SALE and the sky is falling. Riiight...

Shrinking into profibility is the new model.

46 less planes to fly somewhere in the AA system at any time. Good way to p1ss of customers that can't buy a ticket because of unavailability. It's the reason my company hasn't bought me a ticket on them for a while, instead I have to fly 2 or 3 leg trips (taking all day) through all corners of the country to get where I'm supposed to go. And it used to be so easy on AA. sometimes non-stop, sometimes 1 stop.

DAL closed hubs and scrapped flights all to save money. I don't see how it helped them, they still lose money like there is no tomorrow. They are trying to fill the hole over the back of the employees, but even that hasn't helped. It would not surprise me if a lot of their customers are now flying on expanding carriers that are able to offer more seats on more flights to more destinations (Airtran?)

Koolaid talk? Go check out the B6 selling 5 planes thread. Jb pilots on this board play nothing but defense. I actually came to this thread to compare how the AA situation is being treated considering all the harsh talk on that other thread. What a joke. This board is f-in lame.
