AS is in deep doo-doo now. B6 wouldn't have bought an airline and not know what to do with it. We watched AS effectively kill VX routes, kill the growth, and basically shrink the airline. An effort we are still watching to this day. The combined operation is continuing to shrink, not grow.
AS spent billions of dollars in an effort to prevent being bought and yet have almost fallen out of the top 10 in terms of size of US airlines.
