As has been previously stated, the purple tailed monster will prove a great benefit to those living in mem.

Alot of the current NYC 88 Capts live in Boston and will bid the baby bus to get back on the Shuttle.

Parker, MIA routes to bring to CLT, or MIA itself. NYC Routes to move to PHL
Anderson: NYC terminals, DFW, close MEM, CVG, MSP and SLC have two heartland hubs, four corner posts. Kill One World, JV with JAL. BA and Qantas are back looking for JV partners. JAL an easy decision, helps stop KAL from undercutting NRT hub. HND access for connecting traffic.
Large jets and pilots would go to the airline that get them. LCC, DAL would really like their orders and 777 fleet. UCAL would not need jets just some authorities. LCC would want the routes and jets to Europe.
80's would be parked.
Now of course AMR could escape CH11, and LCC gets parted.
330's to DAL
PHX to LUV
CLT would be a good hub for AMR, and they would bring some of the SA flying out of MIA up to CLT. Better S curve and pricing power for connections.
PHL, well its PHL.
SWA would be a bigger player in this one.
Also, imo if AMR survives and LCC is parted out, B6 and AMR merge.
Just my guesses.

Could we also be looking at LCC's A321 fleet and orders?
