I would say the guys getting the 737 Type ratings from Parc etc. Will continue to for another year or so. And the phasing out of the B737 fleet will take quite a while I think.
The new order for Airbus/Boeing won't start arriving until 2006.
And 2006 was in an official statement.
Touch'n'oops is probably an insider who works for AA so might know its Airbus prior to an announcement.
