Ad hominem attacks don’t trump facts. I have nothing whatever against AA, and don’t even think their management did anything wrong. But the cards fell the wrong way with a number of factors beyond their control including the timing of their fleet renewal, NEO and MAX development, COVID, the rebound of flying, the shortage of regional CAs and upgrade eligible FOs, inflation, and a likely coming recession. They are too big to fail, but they would not be my choice of the best legacy to be a junior FO in for the next several years.
Which is the question the OP asked.
So why do you feel obligated to go to ad hominem attacks simply because I hold a different opinion than you? I blamed you for none of the things I quoted. I don’t even BLAME AA. That’s just the way the cards fell.
