I can't believe that AA is taking delivery of 260 320s, equally split between the current model beginning in 2013 and the NEO three years later. How will AA address the issue of its aging 767-300 fleet with this order? How much further can the oldest 767-300s continue to fly as a number of these aircraft are approaching the highest time 767s? I just did a 767-300 transcon a few days ago to SFO and the Purser was telling me that the plane we had had almost 97,000 hours on the airframe.
