I would normally agree, except I think allowing mergers just creates another massive failure of an airline. If you believe that all airlines are in deep trouble if there isn’t a turn around relatively soon (as I do), then what does allowing mergers solve? AA may be in the worst shape, but if we are at the point where only a merger can save us, I believe everyone is doomed.
A merger would only solve the issue of a failed business model. I think the business model is sound, the state of the market is the issue. I believe the airline sector can only heal with the end of the pandemic.

Let’s not go down the road of how great the 717 was. I heard it could cook you breakfast in the morning and make the best IPA beer you could ever dream of

Thats fair. Then the situation becomes one ripe for a new airline to come screaming onto the scene once those seats are in demand, in only a two year or so time frame. And who’s to say that airline won’t be a more formidable business adversary? It’s an interesting hypothetical

What I care about is that we are (trying to have) a conversation about bankruptcy here at AA, while I see e170s flying between hubs and I was out of a job and probably will be out of a job in a few months. And those guys flying the jets talking about how great it is they are seeing new cities without having a clue what they’re really saying. So forgive me for saying not only do I not care about what Skywest and envoy think of themselves, I really don’t want to have to read through it on an AA forum. No disrespect but take it elsewhere

Check out a few days of NYC-MIA on travel planner. Some days are worse than others, but there are a decent amount of republic e170s sprinkled in there. Some days there are three flights a day operated by them

Many are concerned about a AA/JB merger (on both sides). I was curious as to if people thought the two companies working together as they are is setting the stage for a merger sometime in the future. In terms of legacies, AA is probably the one with the least overlap and would make the most sense.
