Yet the chances of being canceled are lower on a few ULCC vs their legacy counterparts.
So to your point, it’s great American has more flight options because your flight completion is the most questionable in the industry

AA had a really bad summer 2019. The injunction helped but after the mechanic sabotaged the aircraft in MIA, it appears they had a come to Jesus moment and September was one of the best months since the merger in completion and on time.
That being said AA is definitely the weaker of the legacies when it comes to vulnerability from the ULCC's.

2.) The problem would be available landing slots and gates.
