AA's plan is to shrink down to about 500 jets. We currently have over 600. What better way to accomplish that than to park jets as pilots retire. And that is what they've been sticking to.
They also will not recall pilots, thereby letting the pilots "win", until we sign the new contract. APA has every intention on dragging its feet, since we are in early openers (contract not amendable until 2008.) Therefore, I don't think we'll be seeing recalls and the stopping of shrinkage until at least then. And that's fine - shrink away, folks, and keep losing market share. See if we care. (Hey that rhymes.)

Well, this is quite a change from you've been saying for most of the past year.
