WHO WILL LIVE? AA / AMR = $4.90 and UAL=$2.51

WOW,,,,AA hit a new 52 week low today of $4.90 and it has $16.46 cash a share and UA has $42.70 cash a share..They are burning money so fast here that no one on wall street seems to be placing a bet on either one. So my question to all of you is if you forget about the current financial health of these two airlines which airline is better at making you the customer happy and why?

I tried to correct topic..sorry.

Don't we have enough how to book a mileage run,what do you use miles for or how do I make elite threads too? Does not this entire board consist of a bunch of repetitive topics?

Yes, yes, and yes. I don't disagree with you. But on the UA and AA boards you can find dozens of threads all posted within the past month with all nearly the same titles. "Who will be left" "Who will be the last standing" "WN buys out UA" "UA buys out AA" "AA buys out....."

Not of course withstanding exactly what this has to do with Miles in the Milesbuzz forum. In this case, I don't care if it's in the wrong forum, what kinda is repetitive about it is that it's been hashed upteen times over upteen times per day in virtually every one of the Major Airline boards.
