RyanAir is #1 in ontime arrivals in Europe. Does that mean you think Michael O'Leary would be a great guy to run AA? I suspect that their baggage record is quite good, too.
LCC's stock is up because of Parker's song and dance about taking over AA. When that falls apart, watch for LCC's stock to plummet. And without seizing AA's cash, watch for LCC to reenter bankruptcy.

You may have missed that US was 5th in on-time arrivals over the last 12 months, AA was 13th (out of 13). US was fifth (below industry average) in mishandled bags, AA was ninth (above industry average). US was 12th in passenger complaints, AA 14th (nearly 50% higher). LCC stock is up 55% in the last year. AA is, well, bankrupt.
I think the job of a CEO is to run an airline and make money for the shareholders. The numbers paint a different story than agony and pond scum.
