Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass.
Hi pot, meet kettle.
Seriously bud, nobody is wanting AA pilots to fall on their swords. Guys are just speculating on possible scenarios. Just because you don't like some of the possibilities, doesn't mean that others want bad things for you so good things can happen to them.
Also because, whether you want to hear it or not, the unsecured creditors have insignificant influence on the outcome of this thing. Been there, done that. So I don't think "falling on their sword" is even an option for AA's pilots. I guess you could offer to take 50% paycuts and a general gutting of your contract, and we could all start this cycle yet again. But as you already know, your pay and contract are the least of AMR's problems.
