	2021		2020
AAG (1)	$	7,613	$	9,940
AAG’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (2)	(2,066)		(2,063)
Total	$	5,547	$	7,877

(1)The decrease in American’s net related party receivable from AAG is primarily due to cash received from the proceeds of AAG financing transactions including the PSP2 Promissory Note, PSP3 Promissory Note and the issuance of shares of AAG common stock pursuant to an at-the-market offering.

(2)The net payable to AAG’s wholly-owned subsidiaries consists primarily of amounts due under regional capacity purchase agreements with AAG’s wholly-owned regional airlines operating under the brand name of American Eagle.

Pursuant to a capacity purchase agreement between American and AAG’s wholly-owned regional airlines operating as American Eagle, American purchases all of the capacity from these carriers and recognizes passenger revenue from flights operated by American Eagle. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, American recognized expense of approximately $2.1 billion, $1.8 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, related to wholly-owned regional airline capacity purchase agreements.
