Good God... Will everybody relax? The sky is not falling. This is a Chapt. 11 BK, not a CH 7. AMR is not going anywhere. More than ever AMR needs Eagle and have said as much in their BK filings... If anybody has bothered reading it. I doubt it...
You guys can't always play that safe card and scream: COMAIR anytime something like this happens. These are completely different companies under different circumstances...
Furthermore, the TA we were being forced fed these past few months is gone. All flow through agreements are still in place. All aircraft ordered by AMR are still coming.
Beyond that whatever happens is pure speculation at this point. Just relax. New hire classes are NOT being canceled, and there is no reason to cancel them. Hiring is not stopping. Retirements at AA will continue and probably pick up pace.
AMR needed restructuring and that is what will happen now.
