AA 2016 Schedule Reliability
 

I fly ORD-PHX a good deal. The schedule for next winter shows only one or two flights/day on AA 733s and a number of additional flights on US 320s.

I much prefer the 733s and am willing to adjust my schedule to fly on them.

Is it likely that the AA 733s now showing on the schedules for next winter will be operating (along with the US 320s) or should one not depend on the schedules and assume that all service will be on old US 320 metal?

Thanks.

Anyone here who knows the answer will not share it; hope for the best, plan for the worst.

AA makes schedule changes, IATA has schedule change conferences twice annually. Schedules are not sacrosanct; you can bet there will be changes.

I appreciate responses.

Perhaps I can/should rephrase my question:

Is it likely that the new AA will concentrate a certain kind of metal (old US or old AA) on a given route, or mix and match, using some AA aircraft and some US aircraft on the same route?

No way to predict that, IMO. Fleet consolidation is some time away, new colour schemes notwithstanding. I'd imagine 77D and A330s could be nearly interchangeable, other than pax numbers, and 77Ws will be used only on those premium-heavy routes that will support First class.
