I expect all those that rushed to retire in the last couple of months are very happy they did. Will the courts come after their lump sums? If so I expect a rush of divorces and money going to ex wives. Just like CAL.

Good luck to all AMR employees and don't give them even more. United did twice and it screwed everyone in the whole industry. Stick to your guns, and stick together.
