if true, then you are even less insightful than I thought. But I’ll give you some help:

Every posting that does not deny a falsehood is not an affirmation of the veracity of that falsehood.

In fact, I have no contempt for AA. I am, through my Vanguard Primecap shares, a stockholder in AA. Prior to COVID many of the decisions that AA management made - like fleet modernization - were entirely reasonable ones. Nobody has the ability to predict black swans, that’s why they call them black swans. It’s not a crime and nobody is guilty, but that doesn’t change the facts on the ground.

Combined with some of those actions the timing of the COVID induced hit has left AA more economically vulnerable than the other legacies and all of them more economically vulnerable than SWA. That’s not just my opinion but it is a consensus opinion of most of the financial community as shown by multiple rating agencies. Me wishing it were different won’t drive my Primecap shares any higher.

But accepting that reality is far different than being contemptuous of anyone. If anyone cannot understand that it’s unfortunate for them, not me.
