In the end, AA will not survive as an independent. Neither will US. They both need each other. It will happen.
I know Horton has said he isnt opposed to mergers in general once they clear bankruptcy, but didnt know his feelings on US in particular. If that is the case (he wanting US post BK) then I can understand the support from AA unions at this time.

Im sure it will be a mess either way, but I truly hope for the best for everyone involved.
