It's like being half a million dollars in debt and making $100K a year.

Looks like currently AA/UAL have about the same debt since that 4.1b was paid off from these 9/21 numbers.
If the forecast I posted continues on path that will put AA at 30b debt in 2025. That would below DL/UAL’s debt levels. Though, I assume they plan on paying down debt as well.
