Are the pilots REALLY being treated "fairly and equitably" in this process or are they simply being taken advantage of again in an arena that gives even more leverage then normal to virtually everyone BUT labor ?

Will THIS judge simply be a another rubber stamp for the letter of the law or will he break from the past and actually determine that indeed the debtors request in this filing does not meet the spirit and intent ?

Personally, I think odds favor a business as usual situation and a rubber stamp a'la the past, but there still remains the chance this judge will see what is really happening here from a corporation who filed BK with almost 5 billion and has made another billion without a single implimentation of any cost-saving measure by labor requested by them of the court.

I think it's easy to see why AA pilots patience for this BS has come to an end and their cup of tolerance is about to runneth over.
