Man this industry is brutal and dirty and so wrong in so many ways...
Apparently you're misguided. You don't realize the feeding frenzy you're swimming in. As soon as the news hit, CEOs from all 4 corners were salivating at the doors in DFW. The big issue is gearslingers and somehow I think there's enough at AE to cover that problem. AA does not want AE. AA wants cheap regionals covering their flying and however AA can achieve that cheap flying is how AA's going to proceed. So, AE will either stand alone, after being crushed by AA in bankruptcy, or, be swallowed up into another regional, which means no more AE.
