I think it would be just AA, they are not efficient at anything. 3 training centers with a pyramid of salary’s at all 3. 3 WO with a pyramid of salary’s at all 3.
I think Delta outsources more MX to Central America than AA is allowed to.
Delta has 80,000 workers AA has over 100,000, they need a BK to outsource, and trim 20k jobs.
I think almost every job at AA is better than their peers, and there are more of them, except for pilots. I’ve heard topped out AA FAs make more than Delta, and have better cancel rules.
If AA files BK they would lower their cost to match their peers, that would effect every group except pilots since they are the ones without higher cost.
