I don't want to burst your naivete bubble, but AMR has been planning this BK for a while now. Boeing and Airbus were probably already privy to it, and those aircraft are still coming. Fact.

Dan Garton knew BK was coming as did every other exec within AMR. The hiring projections at Eagle are based on future projections, not any current situation. They all know that regardless of any BK ruling they will need pilots to staff their fleet. They also know how many pilots they are set to lose within the next few years.

Don't underestimate just how much "in the know" AMR is about this whole thing. Some of you are acting like we just came out of the clouds and hit a mountain....as if this is all some big surprise.

More importantly, most of you are just doom and gloom cheerleaders. Just like the Joker in the Dark Knight...you just want to watch the world burn. In this case, the "world" is American Eagle/ the Airlines.

News flash: Delta, United, Continental, UsAir, etc... all filed Chapter 11 long before AMR did. And when they did they were in a much worse situation than AMR is right now.
