Not exactly. In four years, AA will invest about $4 billion in the 42 787s.

One thing AA has done in stark contrast to other legacy's is to keep MRO mostly in-house. Your planes are maintained in Tulsa, not Seoul or Guatemala City. Clearly AA sees some advantage in this, so I'd expect the 787 work to keep lots of you employed. Great news, as far as I'm concerned.

The A-300 is better job secuirty than brand new Boeings, plus they give us a lot of OT!

I'd rather have a share of that $11.45 Billion in my pocket but its more likely thats where they plan to get it.
