The game has changed and somebody has to get squeezed out so the others can survive and I know who its gonna be ...
You have not made a single articulate argument for your position that accounts will be zero'd out.

While it’s true that Calhoun didn’t mention American Airlines by name, it’s hard not to think of that particular company. As InvestorPlace contributor Thomas Niel suggests, American Airlines’ rate of cash burn is staggering:

UH OH !!
And what else did the article say?

"Things sound bleak for American Airlines. Yet, with the share price falling below $10 per share, the stock could be bottoming out."
"Nevertheless, don’t see this to mean, “American stock is heading to zero.” Granted, air travel could remain depressed for several years."


And not a single reference to the mileage program folding, which is what you have been suggesting..

And what was the author's advice...
"Bottom line: wait for American Airlines shares to head lower before entering a position. At prices far in the single-digits, the potential price appreciation could more than make up for the risk."

So the author says if the stock gets to the low single digits, buy. Doesn't sound like they think bankruptcy is on the horizon.
