This whole process is a sham and completely one-sided agianst labor. It is theoretically SUPPOSED to "ensure all are treated fairly", but clearly that isn't the reality. The legal stage is deliberatley set up to provide all the leverage to crush workers in this process, it simply becoming a game of a small percentage of players maximizing personal wealth by the TRANSFER OF WEALTH from labor to them. You'll note they declared bankruptcy with almost 5 billion in cash (1 billion of that they legally withheld from pension funding during the previous years) and so far in 9 months have added another billion after paying exhorbitant fees to multiple advisors.

You'll also note during this same 9 month period they have yet to institute a single, solitary labor cut and still they've made a billion in 9 months. You'd have to be a certifed idiot to not see what's really happening here. AA pilots see it and they are at least resisting it with every ability they have and not capitualting to every fable and story read to them designed to seize their money (past, present and future) as easily as possible like alfaromeo is advocating.
