So, let's see:

- AS is burning almost $200 million in cash a month (they're trying to get it to 0), and they're actively cutting routes and stations to try to get to $0 cash burn.
- AS doesn't serve LAX or PHX from the actual larger station in the San Diego area (SAN).
- AS would only be getting a codeshare slice of a ticket like CLD-LAX/PHX-ORD done with AA, so expecting codeshare revenue on onestops to make a station like that work... yeah, serious wishful thinking.
