American Airlines Group is not considering a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, Chief Executive Doug Parker said at a conference on May 27, and shot down speculation that the major U.S. carrier could disappear due to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.

“Bankruptcy is failure. We’re not going to do that,” Parker said, adding: “I don’t think you'll see any airline go by the wayside as a result of this crisis.”
