Let's get back to the unionoids telling us how much better our TA is than a bankruptcy agreement.
And wait a second. Think of where AAL came from and how far they fell. Apples to Apples comparison. They had a handful of 70 seaters and a gob of 50 seaters. Now they'll have more "widebody RJs" with more seats than us and still gobs of 50 seaters.
We on the other hand are shrinking our outsourced fleet by 150 airplanes.
Umm...how is this comparable again? And what leverage did they have for the alternative? Yes we really failed. Miserably. Send it back so we can continue to be awesome like AMR.
