AA made an offer to merge
At least according to Bloomberg. I’d be interested to know more of those details. Ben and team running a combined AA could be interesting. Isom and team could screw up a 2 car parade.

The article from Bloomberg specifically quotes, “shared revenue” proposal, not merger.
I will admit the merger would create one hell of an opportunity for explosive WB growth. You’d have LAX-SFO-SEA as a gateway to the pacific. Under the right management team it could be something special.

By explosive growth, you mean, in about 10 years because the wide body order book is backed up about almost a decade. And I will be a long past age 65 by then. But you know who will be in place to fly the wide bodies? Those formally “23 year-old first officers from OO fresh off of OE.”
