That's a really weird way to do it.
Why use aircrack-ng at all? Don't we have all of its functionality and
with much better performance built into JtR jumbo by now? Is anything
specific still missing?

Why do that? How large is that wordlist?

It's intended behavior that JtR deletes the session file when the
session completes, and as far as it's aware it completes when there are
no more input words for --stdin.

You could patch JtR source code not to remove the .rec file, but I think
you should reconsider the whole approach instead.
