These aircraft simply replaced others that were retired. Not much growth was seen from any of these additions.
Kirby doesn't know the first thing about running an international airline, nor does Doug Parker. Their background is in smallball regional LCCs and the moment they started running things at a global airline (AA), the operation fell apart.
