If DFW is an unsecured creditor they could be hurt if AA uses packaged BK to get out of its debt obligations.

Slim and none. All the talk about a US deal comes from US, which is a pretty ugly dance partner. They're still fighting over the HP deal.

Should be none. AA is going to reorganize, not collapse or hold a fire sale of assets.

Too early to tell but AA has said there will be systemwide capacity reduction and political gestures like the Love Field service seem ripe for cutting.

No. If QF pulls out of DFW it won't be because of this.

WN has its own problems digesting F9 at the moment, and AA isn't going to shrink in Texas enough to start a dogfight with Southwest. And they're two different products, like Kia and Buick, which don't worry that much about each other.

Answer is obvious but nobody knows the scope of headcount cuts if any.

Not really.
