SATCFI; was riding with two AA crews yesterday trying to get home. Both said the same thing i have been hearing, AA has to start hiring now, and they are not going to give up their scope. They'll strike first.

Please not another 5 minute strike in ther middle of the night. AMR will go right straight to a BK court and settle all.
AMR may have cash on hand but their debt is 3-4 times more than the cash they have in addition they have pawned everything, slots, aircraft and any buildings they had owned. The first 200 new aircraft on order are all leases, nothing owned. APA has only one thing in there favor, AMR mgt greed but that could also work against APA.
