I don’t feel as much worry as others if AA files or all 3 for that matter. I’d think restructuring should work out much better for future growth down the road than continuing to collect high coupon debt.

If all 3 file then you’ll be at Skywest for the next 10 years.

Just the fact that Delta lost 40 percent more money than American last year.

I don’t have to define it. The market did and forced American to pay a premium on 11%+ debt. That’s a warning sign, not a seal of approval. The debt service on the recent debt will likely absorb lots if not all the pre-Covid profit, that itself under the powerful assumption that we all quickly return to pre Covid status quo.

Honestly, I don’t think another legacy will buy assets if they come up for sale, it will be the ULCCs/LCCs who aren’t as encumbered with debt and have more flexibility, just like the 1980s.

Somehow, bear with me here, this make servicing debt possible.
I didn’t say it’s a good plan. American has gotten boxed into this reality. You know what? How do you think American got its international network?

I said it’s a possible or potentially likely future. At some point do the economics support three US international carriers? Or, if WN is becoming more of a domestic legacy carrier, four legacies?

Are you suggesting that American is too big to fail, because the international network is so critical the financiers will just continue to support it indefinitely?

The Earth will still rotate with American as a much smaller carrier post a trip to BK court.

Whether that’s good or bad for me individually or hurts your feelings doesn’t really effect the situation American finds itself in.
