Ed called AMEX their most important commercial partner.
Current revenue from the AMEX partnership around $3.5B annually and will double by 2023.

Nothing like high margin passive income to support operations that fluctuate with weather, fuel prices, and costs of salaries and benefits.

Seems like they are managing their SkyMiles AMEX cards very well and people are seeing the value in using them.
