So some think that aa might be worth 1.5b more than uaco? That's just crazy. With what assets? Mia and dfw? 3rd place in NYC. 2nd place in ord.

Uaco, despite their integration difficulties, is a much larger airline with FAR better assets including the most profitable hub in country. No way aa will be failed higher than uaco.
