Well, AMR and UAL both have upwards of $5.5 Billion in the bank, nearly double of what CO has. Both have valuble assets; Heathrow, Tokyo (UA), etc. that CO also does not have.

Regardless, the only entity that is going to be purchasing another airline is the banks who will loan the money to the purchaser
