Personally I'll be happy when ALL american airlines are made bankrupt and forbidden the protection of chapter 11.
Without exception (and I travel constantly throughout the US and Internationally), I find them to be badly organized, have poor service, poor reliability, uncomfortable seating and lousy customer relations service. I could list horror stories of lost baggage (3 times this year alone).. overbooking, late flights and missed connections ... life's too short.
Far better that they pack it up and let European airlines take over.
