You also have two Cash lines, what’s the difference between the 11B and 4B?

none of those are “new” orders correct? The $8.4B for new aircraft expenditures was already on the books, right? My thought was they would talk to Airbus and get the XLR deliveries pushed out a little, no...If the international travel comes back however we will need a 75/6 replacement quickly.
Correct. The 54 planes coming this year were from previous orders.

The cash at the end of June is the 4B plus the cares grant and the first stock offering.

AA debt can only be the debt it started the year with plus the loss of each quarter.
Even issuing new stock can be a tool to transfer debt from creditors to shareholders, not new spending.
I'am sure big banks are telling them they have to issue some stock to keep some "skin" in the game.

I believe the cares loan is servicing debt. Either way is the same debt.

I personally think pre-covid they were only keeping 4weeks of liquidity on hand, and since March 15 have realized they need ~12 weeks on hand.
It's expensive to quit living pay check to paycheck, while taking an earnings hit, but doesn't directly correlate to taking on new debt.

You understand diluting the stock is a last resort for most companies. No shareholder benefits from this and usually makes it a non investable investment. It shows how desperate they are by wiping out the market value of the company. The “skin” you speak of just kicks the can further down the road hoping for a miracle vaccine. What scares me the most is Doug lack of transparency about what’s going on. Other carriers CEO’s are very public while mums the word at AA.

“no shareholder benefits from this” they sure do if it returns the company to profitability. I’d think every investor would prefer this to BK.
You’re right that this often isn’t viewed in the best light from an investment standpoint but it’s what’s necessary in this environment.
This would be a different discussion if air travel wasn’t down 75% right now.
