I see AA only if they choose to enter a bidding war. WN, is doing well on its own. AS, if it chooses to grow can only do so on the east coast with a merger. Simply no other way to just expand but do they have an appetite to compete nation/world wide or just fortress the PNW. I think you dropped F9 for a comedy break? A merger with them would expedite bankruptcy with their management being worse than JetBlue’s.
