Yes, AA is still in bankruptcy, but US has been there twice with DUI Dougie. AA also has a pile of cash on hand that said CEO really would like to get his hands on. US has limited options without AA.

I just came over to US board today to see what the US Elites were saying about the merger. At least on the AA board there is engaging conversation. Here I find outrageous generalizations that imply that AA EXP's thugs.
For the record most of my upgrades aren't free as I often fly paid F or use my AAirpass, which due to the cost often does get me an upgrade. When it doesn't come through I happily take my seat in Y because that's what I ultimately paid for.
