Since you mention political issue, I am wondering if TF and gang closer to PN or PH? Seems to be closer to PH or playing both sides. I guess at his level should be playing both sides. At the end of the day, is AA too big to fail? Also I could be noob here, TF acts as if AA can continue at least for the next 3 months. Also they seem to want to transit to ecommerce platform! lol. Anyway I am not owning AA, tempted to go in below 50 cents. But now maybe got better value stocks elsewhere.

Fascinating how our airline industry so weak...

I am referring to not just AA, Malaysia airline industry in general ie MAS too. And even before the crisis our airline industry already wobbly with bad management issues.

This whole credit refund or full refund is stupid since clearly AA doesn't have the resource to process the huge amount of requests. Credit control process takes several layers of check and approval before it gets through.

Since AA relies on automated tools like AVA, they should just allow people to make unlimited changes until the next year. Currently they only allow those flights before end of May to be changed until Oct 2020. They should just change to next year and all flights before the realistic date that people can fly instead of just May. This way they save on resources processing those refunds and make sure there's future demand. Not sure what AA thinking...

Hmm, I could be wrong. Legally if AA declare the virus to be Acts of natural disaster (something like that), they don't have to refund anything. Of course the customer anger repercussion would be huge.

Realistically who dares to fly until new cases of virus is 0 for a while and/or cure out. A lot of new cases overseas for those who flew back their citizens.

In short I think better not touch airline industry for a while, even Warren buffet sold part of his delta stake despite only increasing them early Feb.
