Michael Boyd - Aviation Planning said:American has actually reduced its dependence on this leased-in lift over the past two years, and has the lowest percentage of both departures and seats outsourced to small lift providers.This will ultimately be a competitive advantage, as fleet demand forecasts accomplished by Boyd Group International point to an over-fleeting of small jets, particularly 50-seat RJs. (It's the economics - even at $50 oil.) American is well ahead of the curve in this regard.
