Let's not forget Pan Am sold the crown jewels, (Asia and SA,) to try and keep their operation funded. Airlime managements do not think or act how we would define "rational" during a merger. If Horton et al can super fund the golden parachute by selling off chunks before bailing, do you really think they would care what the resultant mess is after they leave.
