Isom’s supposed “I’ll park widebodies if you don’t sign my contract proposal” threat doesn’t make any sense, because he would indeed be fired for doing so. AA needs every bit of revenue it can get to service all of its debt. Impossible to generate revenue on a parked widebody.

Parking widebodies as a result of a worldwide economic collapse, maybe, but I don’t see things getting that bad… and if they do, DAL and UAL are gonna be right behind AAL.
