IMO American isn’t going anywhere. Too big to fail. Too connected and essential politically and economically. The big four are basically Amtrak. The feds will throw whatever amount money at any of them to keep them going. The apocalypse could wipe out half the world and the government would eventually see to it that the big four would be resurrected.

I agree about Plan B, more overnights and shrinkage. I think MG is looking to do more fun centers and Hotel/Resort ventures. That will keep overall profit and margin going in the direction he wants. Airline stuff really isn’t his thing.
