Hopefully an innocent question.

Are all of the arguments pertaining to an AA and US contract/sli/merger (agreed to by US/AA unions) according to AA mgt a moot point? According to AA mgt...they are intent on trashing (I guess the politically correct term would be abrogating due to BK) the AA contracts and charting their future based on BK decisions (which I can only assume they feel will go in their favor?) and emerging as a single carrier. Not trying to stir the pot...just wondering.
