Here we go again, not gonna happen any time soon. AA will likely need to get through CH11 proceedings first, and any attempt to buy B6 would start a bidding war. The airline that wants to join B6 will have to pay a premium, and there is no way AA will win that battle with AA debt. B6 has good financials and doesn't need a merger, they will likely grow while AA shrinks to either avoid CH11 or go through a restructure.
