But if the Max is taken off the schedule there shouldn't be cancellations due to the Max not being in service. I think it goes back to banked hubs and the timeliness of maintenance issues. When planes can't get to a gate, particularly towards the later hours of the day there's going to be more crew timing out issues. Planes that do not get back into service on a timely basis are going to cause cancellations not to mention crew time outs waiting for an a/c to be deemed air worthy. Moreover, American is horrible about recovery. An a/c comes in late and it seems that it takes longer to turn the a/c around if it had come in on time.

I don't see Parker debanking hubs. The additional revenue is highly likely offsetting the additional costs and Parker runs by the numbers not the flyer experience. I guess he figures corporate travelers will be taken care of by their company and for high end leisure travelers decamping to the nearest 4 star hotel while annoying doesn't break the budget. Those seated in Groups 7-9 that paid for a cheap ticket, more adversely economically impacted by delays and cancellations can just go pound sand it would appear. However, this of course reeks havoc with a business traveler's agenda and this is where I wonder if they are losing revenue on the back if enough bread and butter flyers are leaving.
