misd-agin,
Yep, this is gonna get interestin' pretty soon.
Since you appear to have some inside dope on AA, what's your take on the number of AA people who've been bypassing recall and are facing a time when return or cutting bait will be required ?
I've heard that ~900 are still bypassing with the end of that option coming this year. The scuttlebutt is that only 10% of those will elect to return. Any truth to that from your sources ?
P.S.
Speaking of USAir retirements, I have these numbers from a couple of years ago…Audries Aircraft Analysis, IIRC. They were from an unattributed source but may be in the ballpark ? ( I prefer dated/attributed data from the original source) Something to kick around, I guess. Audries has gone to a pay-to-play format so I can't see what's there now if it even is after the merger. Add them to AA legacy and it gets impressive:
2015--227
2016--269
2017--295
2018--308
2019--329
2020--306
2021--312
2022--263
2023--299
2024--239
2025--229
