By the end of July American Mainline will have 114 less aircraft then 9/11 thats almost a 18 % reduction, meanwhile Leisure Travel is almost back to pre 9/11 figures. There has been a slight increase in the number of Leisure seats available on exsisting aircraft thanks to LRTC, but overall there's almost 14% less capacity on North and Central American flights. I estimate around 3% has moved from Mainline to Eagle so at the end we have 10-11% less seats available. So where does an airline take these seats from? -Revenue producers or AAwards. I dont think its rocket science to realize they are going to go from AAwards. Something we are going to have to live with.
