Flagship Plane After Merger?
In the 90s, I recall the MD11 was the plane predominately on AA's ads (television & printed). Years later, it was the 777.

Once the merger is finalized, what would be the flagship plane for the airline used for its advertisements? Would it be the 77W? When the A350s are delivered, would that be the flagship plane?

pmUS A321 or a CRJ would be my guess.

Perhaps the PMAA 319s with IFE ripped out and credit card advertisements affixed to the back of the seats in its place.

You've forgotten about the true crown jewel of the fleet, the wonderful and amazing Dash 8.

Questions like this are just absurd when there are more important things to worry about, like what the post-integration cocktail napkins will look like.

Remember America West 747
The Flagship of America West was the 747, which had service to Hawaii & Japan!
