American Airlines CEO Robert Isom did little Thursday to diffuse talk of an expanded partnership with Alaska Airlines.
Isom, speaking to analysts and reporters a day after Bloomberg reported the airlines were discussing a deeper partnership, avoided commenting directly on the news but repeatedly said American was open to more partnerships.
"I know they've been fiercely independent," he said of Alaska. "We look forward to doing more with Alaska going forward."
