If you look at the AAL wholly owned, they fly the best routes, get the best pairings, and fly the best aircraft (as far as age and maintenance). Except for Compass, who will lose their Ejet contract with AAL, only AAL wholly owneds fly the Ejet. They have a true flow. Sure, they have a forced upgrade to LGA on the 145. But, they can make it back to their desired base.
And, we don’t even need to discuss what Delta has done.
