Cash in the financial statement

Add cash on hand on the financial statement. It would be nice to see that figure when looking at other airlines. Also the amount that has been used for aircraft deposits (restricted cash)

No, because if you could see that, then other airline could smash your routes and instantly make you lose profit, knowing you couldn't do anything because you don't have the cash. Anyway, it's not like American goes up to United and says, "Hey, United, how much cash you got on you?"

Actually, they can figure that out from their SEC fileings. Maybe only quarterly.

I am not sure the logic of your first statement works since I don't need a cash statement to smash routes. All I need is enough DOP to cover the losses and react to any retalitory rate changes. Route smashing would only affect cash if the victum only had a couple routes and if you could make the DOP go negative.
