Aside from Airpass extensions, the bigger concern is what happens to the route network as a reduction in network impacts how far Airpass dollars can go and what they can be used towards. There certainly are possibilities that involve AA selling off or divesting certain assets. Ideas that have been publicly floated thus far have including selling or leveraging AAdvantage program with banks, long term mortgaging of gate/ramp space, conversion of passenger aircraft and spinning off cargo business, selling interests and operations of regional network and selling off International trans-Pacific or trans-Atlantic routes or both (making AA more like a Southwest). ME-3 (only two of which are meaningful) are absolutely chomping at the bit for the trans-Atlantic and gate spaces. The International network is absolutely in play but bottom line there is little clarity and any of the above or more are on the table. I think it's safe to assume that the already massive elimination of expenses will materially reduce the route network over the next several years. The question is how much that reduces usefulness of Airpass funds will be reduced. For those companies that have been using Airpass for quite some time there is some level of protection in the contract. If there is a route that gets eliminated (or reduced) that the company may have routinely utilized then they have an out but other than that there is no pandemic exception in the contracts. On the positive side, from a business unit perspective I do not see Airpass being at risk in a bankruptcy or divesting scenario as it is positioned in the core business services division of the company.
