This is something none of us wanted, but the judge wouldn't give us anything better. If you think they would you're fooling yourself. It's bankruptcy, not a pilot pity party. It doesn't matter that we are profitable on our own, it's about AA. And to take whatever the judge throws at us and then fight it we would for sure accept a new name of comair and watch our ship sink too.
That's what your union told you and it's all B.S. It matters little now as you'll have to suck on it for 8 years, if you last that long.
