This is silly, out of pure quarantine boredom.
Southwest takes MIA
JetBlue takes CLT
Alaska and Delta split DFW
United expands ORD
Hawaiian takes LAX. maybe PHX
Skywest brands DCA slots and codeshares with everyone.

nobody is buying AA unless they declare Ch. 11 first, which also typically nullifies all union contracts
if you see AA declare, the sharks will start to circle. It may not be another airline. It may be a hedge fund, JoAnn Fabrics, or Toms Ice Cream Truck Company, with the "airline investment" as some sort of investment experiment.
Sun Country, Frontier, etc. type situation.

The only hope AA has is that the federal government pressures creditors to throw them a life-line like they did with the US auto makers in the recent past. In exchange the federal government would take a large stake in AA and there would be new stock issued in CH11. This would likely trigger at the very least a CH11 filing from United as well so that they could restructure and gut labor contracts like AA will do. The next few years are going to he awful for 121 passenger ops most likely.

Even if AA went Ch 11 they won’t be parted out and sold to highest bidder. They will restructure, slash debt, and come out leaner and meaner than everyone else Likely triggering other bankruptcies by legacies who can’t compete with the new AA
