how would a merger help? Mergers take years and require upfront capital to invest in the merger process. To my knowledge there is not a single airline even close to making money right now (regionals aside) so I doubt much would be gained in a merger right now.
CH11 could happen but there would have to be a rebound in flying so AA can generate the cash flows needed to run the business but not necessarily service it’s debt.
