That is if we get to section 6 before we are thrown in to something. This AMR filing really throws a lot in to flux. If anything it may tighten the bandwidth many airlines were looking at for further consolidation.
I don't know about you, but I'm kind of tired of living in interesting times.
I'll go on record first for taking this position, if AA fragments and we merge with all or part of them, we should treat their pilots fairly...bygones. We should also adopt their scope...Best parts of the contract and all that.
As you know, I said I didn't think AA would actually file, the stars were not aligning, from a legal perspective, for them to do that successfully. Now that they have, I fear their ride is not going to be fun.
