I agree, not US. They are gunna be bought out by 2012 by someone, likely towards DL. That would make BOS a hub. Time for the worst airline in the world to go down.
CO declined a merger with UA, and there is little chance they would bid for AA.
AA could bid for (a significantly weakened) UA, as high-finance always seems to find a way when a deal is at stake (see US/HP, US's failed bid for DL, etc).
Bottom line: bankruptcy is not currently in the cards for any of the Big 5. but next year? who knows?
