No question that the DAL/NWA & UAL/CAL mergers are motivating factors in future growth, particularly the later merger. AA has plenty going for it in that it has 4 of its 5 biggest hubs in the largest & most business relevant metro areas in the land. But what it desperately needs is organic growth into Asian markets and secondary European markets. If Arpey and group can put that into motion then the future is very bright indeed. The proposed KLAX ZSPD is a good start.
