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.

1.) America West/US Airways had a good sized hub in Las Vegas and once the recession hit and fuel went up back in 2008 they quickly closed that hub and they never regained the market share. The void has been filled in Vegas by the ULCC’s. I think the ULCC’s will see the same thing happen in markets like Florida, Vegas, and the Caribbean during a recession. People won’t be going on vacations no matter how cheap the tickets are.
2.) The problem would be available landing slots and gates.

As far as #2 goes, I can't see much different outcome vs the failed Euro ULCCs who went TATL. F9 doesn't have a big base of loyal fliers on the east coast where they would likely be launching flights from. Sure, TTN, but thats not nearly big enough in my mind, and faces immense competition with UAL/EWR and AA/PHL. F9 doesn't have a big network to feed flights, and/or O&D based pax, and an onboard product that isn't really desirable for 8+hr flights. I think TATL would be a very bad idea.
