Let me guess. You are an economist and have worked in airline management to know this information?
Right. NOT. Because it's absolutely incorrect. American has the biggest economy of scale of any of the legacy carriers and they are the best positioned to weather the crisis and come out with a large gain in market share on the other side. The proportionate savings in cost with this increased level of production solidifies that aspect.
I will say that I own a WARN letter and I am VERY bullish on American Airlines. In a worst case scenario, I wouldn't stoop to the level of working for one of those sweatshops.
