AA pilots, don't let it get to you. You can't control much in the process, but you can learn from our mistakes and NOT sign a concessionary BK contract. Make the company get the judge to impose it. You'll be back in Section 6 sooner and you won't have the AMR spokesholes saying aggravating things like "we have consensual agreements in place with all of our unions and we intend to enforce them".

While I seriously doubt many AMR Pilots were salivating over UAL routes I'ts Pretty damn CLEAR AMR and CAL Management were. So what Horton has facing Him yet to come I could care LESS. But sine American's Carty and CAL's Bethune lobbied their TEXAS president and got the ATSB loan denied what Befalls American's Management and what Befell CAL in getting "Jacked" by Tilton has me Laughing all the way to the bank. Especially since after We at UAL lost OUR pensions the Rules have changed so the PBGC won't be jumping to take over pensions unless American is Liquidated and that's a possibility that's 90/10 Not going to Happen so it's
Not worth putting much effort in to speculating about. AMR Management jumped too Late to stick it to the AMR rank and file. UAL beat you to that game. Now they'll have to come Hat in Hand to get it or TAKE it via the 1113 court process where EVERYBODY will suffer EQUALLY. Look for a LOT of AMR Senior Managment to look for "Other OPPORTUNITIES".
