You do bring up a good point, if AA was so short on international aircraft as they have been claiming, why not use the first XLRs on international missions only to bring international capacity online faster? It seems inconsistent, I've thought AA really doesn't know what to do with more international aircraft and has been using the "shortage" as a performance excuse.
