But not when American does it.

AA has had more yearly revenue than UAL since 2016, not sure about covid, but that is 2016-2019 and 2022.

I don’t care how much SK tries to spin it. Sure SK claims he got a sweet deal and paid for half the orders in cash. But hear me out, how does an airline with north of 30 Billion in debt pay half of a 737 order off? By taking on more debt!! But yeah sure they paid half of it in “cash”. Every airline has loads of cash on deck, doesn’t play any part in not taking on more overall debt.

$3 Billion in the hole? Do you mean they paid off $3 billion? Which isn’t correct. As of a few months ago United debt $35 billion, American debt $42 billion. United will soon blow past American. Apparently Kirby doesn’t just love RJs, he loves debt too. His play on international though could turn out to be worth the added debt, we will see.
