Tsquare, again... full abrogation/1113 term sheet will only serve to completely shed the wheels off the AMR vehicle. If that's the route they want to go down... so be it: they know fully well they won't be able to rebuild The New AA without the employees on board and with massive chaos. THAT is where the leverage is.

Burn down the house? Not at all. We are simply engaging in their own game of high stakes poker that they play so well. They weren't counting on that: they were hoping we'd cave once again, just like we have for the past 30 years.

AMR wants a pilot contract. So do the judge and the UCC. The UCC is what is driving everything right now, and they are getting very frustrated at ToHo's lack of leadership and bizarre flip flops. Mark my words - there will most probably be a new TA, significantly better than the last one, coming down the pike before the judge rules on the resubmitted 1113. My take is that it better be up to DAL/UAL standards or it will once again be voted down.
