Read my lips: no major US airline liquidation will occur during this administration. Now by major I mean AA, DL, UA and CO. The others are expendable (except WN which is in no danger).
Trivia question to which I do not know the answer: when was the last "major" US airline liquidation that left the passengers and frequent fliers in the lurch? Eastern Air Lines?

When DL acquired Pan Am, did they honor the FF miles? The only "big" one in my frequent-flying lifetime has been TW/AA, and TW miles and status were transferred fully.
