You're joking right? AMR doesn't have 25% of the east coast presence US Air does (the merger is worthwhile simply for this reason if nothing else). the only other airline with an expansive east coast presence is...Delta. US air has like twice as many European destinations as AA and AA brings in the best Latin and South American network in existance plus hubs at all the major business markets in the US....your right they wont be powerful at all...
