Delta serves FCO from four airports.
American serves FCO from five.

Also the example you just cited from Delta includes a flight every other day, not even every day?

After typing all this I realize you are definitely trolling.
Im talking today, in February, off season. Go look at the flights - it’s just an example… I don’t think you know what trolling is…. Son

Naa, it's accurate. Public record too. Roughly $500m was raised to get the merger consummated as neither carrier had any money.

That is completely incorrect. UAL has the worst commuting and JS rules in the business.

AWA was hiring and expanding and profitable when it aquired LUS.

DIP finanicng is normal, and not indicative of a corporation "not having any money".

The reason a deal with USAir was put together is becuase USAir was failing. Parker smelled blood in the water and wanted to scoop up USAIR. Financiers backed Parker's plan and he was retained. AWA/Parker made those people tons of money, and the merged airline was going so well and the deal so lucrative, the financiers gave Parker the money to do it again with AA, who was an ailing and sick-puppy airline retained him again, and again made them tons of money.

Yeah, real losers that AWA/Parker.. LoL

BTW, when talking about AWA and deals/mergers, we are really talking about Doug Parker. He saved USAIR, bolstered AA, and forever changed the airline industry in a very radical way. Parker was a visionary, and he executed perfectly.

Denial, not just a river in Egypt.

You're hilarious! ;-)
AWA's business plan was so rocket solid Parker was desperately trying to merge with anyone.

'off season." So your business plan would be to fly to cities with low demand in the off season? Have you actually done that? Its's a great non-rev time but a lousy business cycle.

Let's see the route structure after cheaper jets (321XLR) come on line.

AA also had the financing...it's called DIP. Basically self funded. Wall St choose Parker over Carty. AA wasn't disappearing.

What was AWA doing when they merged with AA? International expansion? Profitable? If yes why would leave ever go after AA? BTW the merged company was 65/35 in AA's favor.
