Heyas Sailing,
I don't think it was AA that got the PAA Latin American operation, but rather UAL.
AA got EALs Latin American Ops (with no pilots), which was karmic payback, as EAL got the routes from Braniff, also with no pilots.
Those routes, while they may make money, seem like a bad omen...every company to ever fly them has gone bankrupt, and two are gone completely.
