Chapter 11 is not a blank check for management. If it were, the entire industry would be under a Mesa contract.
You have bought into the fear and are willing for whatever reason to give AA management a blank check. No limits on anything, pay or scope. Just keep the seniority list alive by any means necessary even if you're not flying on it for the next 10-15 years.
I'd take liquidation over that any day.
I don't think any of the regionals are that bad.... But point well taken or pretty close. Why not merge with Delta. Get a raise out of it like both Delta & Northwest guys got. Then in 2-3 years the new company will be making 3+ billion in profits per year because of less competition. Then we ask for FedEx's contract + 5%. No furloughs because by the time they get it all done age 65 retirements are kickin in.
