Entirely possible after AS files BK. Except OO won't fail, they have the smartest management in the regionals, and probably in the top three smartest of all US airlines. Every time I've ever thought that they did something stupid... turned out it wasn't stupid. Except one thing, but they fixed it pretty quick. They probably had a plan for this, I know they had plans for another 9/11 like event.

Or AS could ditch the buses, move the 73's to QX and let OO keep doing the CPA. QX would fly 73's for a big discount, no scope that says they can't. OO can't fly big jets due to big-three scope.
