American Airlines (AAL), why such daily volume?

Ok, explain it to me like I'm 5. Why does American Airlines trade at such volume almost daily?

It regularly sits in my top 10 watch list, sometimes with volume greater than SPY and seated right next to mid level movers in volume on any given day-- and yet it barely changes, trading in a range between 9 and 13$ since April?

There never seems to be a catalyst and the balance sheet is nothing special, with a poor outlook. It looks like FORD, but such volume, why?
