Who knows. That's sometime down in the future and any number of things can happen. Esp if the merger does indeed close there will be all kinds of network changes down the path. AA does not even know the answer to that yet, let alone any speculation here.

But, what is true is the MD-80 is less disadvantageous efficiency wise on short hall, so it makes sense that short haul routes will be the last to loose them.
