Everything they’ve done since the bankruptcy has hurt their arguments if such a filing ever were initiated.

Frankly, given the high probability of furloughs at AA, this would be a terrible time to make the argument.
There have been plenty of opportunities to make a single carrier petition, either by Envoy to AA or all 3 WOs to AA. My best guess as to why it hasn't happened is because ALPA would lose 5,000 members to APA. It would be the best thing to happen to the industry in forever, but ALPA doesn't seem to be going for it.
