What’s Left to Say About American?

The airline is just going to muddle through for the foreseeable future, isn't it? It makes money. But less than its competitors. And I don't see an appetite for change.

Dear readers,

If you were expecting American's fourth quarter earnings call on Thursday to be the moment executives finally admitted they have a problem that can't be solved by cozying up to more corporate accounts, or by squeezing more revenue from a new contract with Citibank, or by adding more E175s to America’s forgotten cities, you likely were disappointed.
