Physically where the headquarters is located has no bearing on who is in charge. After all, US is - legally and financially - acquiring AA.
Yes the US team will be running the new american but it's just legally and financially UNTRUE it was an acquisition. Far from the case. Parker played the game better no doubt. But lack of understanding to call it in any form an acquisition. AA creditors get over 70% of the stock in the new entity.
