In addition to my disappointment at the utterly idiotic report (and reporter), may I (respectfully) admonish doc for the title of the thread?

Upon first look, this certainly wouldn't appear to be a thread about AA repositioning its Airbi.

Well, I guess it's true that all news outlets eventually give in to sensationalism.

Actually, the title of the thread is the title that CNN gave to its article, so doc was just repeating the title.

Personally, I think there is a correlation to the crash of AA587. We've seen articles about how transatlantic loads are down. If there are fewer pax, why use bigger planes?
