I won’t speculate about whether or not American’s announcement of enough aircraft orders to replace its currently operating narrowbody fleet (aside from its 737-800s) was right one or not.

This announcement has overshadowed their Q2 financial results, which was another loss in the hundreds of millions…I guess I just don’t understand the financial side of the airline business. I feel like a company in AA’s financial position in another industry wouldn’t be in business any more at this point…It also seems concerning that every other airline is making money this quarter. It will certainly be interesting to see how these aircraft purchases play into all of this…
