Fitch cuts AMR's and AA's debt ratings

So explain how DL reducing PVG to 4x/ week and CO offering "sale fares" is a good thing.

Sale fares:
Isn't it that time of the year anyways? Olympics are over. Chinese new year is over. Isn't this the time of year when all airlines offer deals to Asia? (And Europe at least for a little while more?)

DL ATL-PVG frequency reduction:
Is DL reducing the frequency from ATL to 4/week year round? It could be just a temporary adjustment - they're trying to integrate NW still (and probably for a good while longer).

Considering AMR's dwindling cash reserves, I can't say I'm surprised. Of course, this will make it even harder for the company to raise needed capital down the road. Better preserve what cash it has...
