Just a reality check: AA is currently the number 2 airline in the USA for operational reliability (cancelled flights and on-time). DL is number one. AA's 2019 ops just look bad due to an illegal work slowdown by their mechanics last spring/summer. After a judge ordered them back to work last summer -- and indicated that they might owe AA tens of millions of dollars in damages -- AA has been quite reliable to fly on.
