It looks like AA is setting itself up for homeruns further down the road and happy to settle for singles now. In a few years, AA will still have the newest and largest fleet and will have paid their debt off. At that point, AA will be able to announce much larger and dramatic profits. That will drive investor values way up. Also at that time, AA's senior management will have even more shares of the stock. They will make out like bandits!

Delta and UA generate 90% of the industry profits, mind blowing stat. Things start to go south (which is looking more likely), AA will be right back in the bankruptcy conversation.
The notion that AA is uniquely prone to bankruptcy is based on dated information.

United will either be taking in an airplane every other day at high interest rates with less revenue coming in to pay for them, or will have to put all growth plans on hold and fly a tired fleet (and figure out what to do with 800 orders).
