I think it is highly UNlikely. I just don't see US having the financial muscle in the current investment climate to pull it off. I do agree that AA will use the Ch11 to early terminate leases where possible and accelerate replacement with new aircraft. Labour costs and inefficient older part of the fleet are the big drivers for Ch11.
