This isn’t about egos, this is about reality. Not even saying AA management did anything wrong, they can scarcely expect to be able to anticipate a once in a century pandemic event. They aren’t prescient and it isn’t their field and if the assumption EVERYBODY was making about domestic and international flying had come true the money spent on fleet renewal would have been a wise investment. Nobody’s rejoicing at the prospect of AA being downsized, pilots furloughed, or a bankruptcy occurring. But the biological black swan event did occur.
If a truthful analysis of current AA prospects causes uninformed people to have a better understanding of what is going on and to be able to hedge their bets or seek the best option to provide and care for their family, what’s your b|tch?
Sounds like you just want to shoot the messengers. They didn’t cause the problem, they are just spreading the message.
