American Airlines status

I think the main threat to the Tulsa base is AA outsourcing their maintenance instead of doing it in-house.  If they keep doing their own they will likely keep the base open since they already have the facilities and the expertise is in Tulsa.  AA has already closed the Kansas City and Ft Worth/Alliance mx bases, and USAir closed their Pittsburgh facility.

Maybe if they just put a bird on it.....

USAir executives toured the base several times. We heard they were impressed by the work, but that's no indication of whether they see it as a way to control costs or as a potentially valuable asset that can be sold. Experienced AA employees know to watch what management does rather than what it says.

Truer words were never spoken. It just seems to me that Tulsa would be a good choice to keep because of it's size, capabilities, and location for a maintenance facility and the other supporting companies like NORDAM. But I'm not a bean counter or an exec so what do I know.
