If that is the reasoning for this loan then OK. I do not know. As AA only manages stock price for the current quarter, this move won't help them in that regard.
I don't want to get into a p*ssing match - I like having these debates, and questioning our employers strategy. This will make us all more well rounded employees.
I never believed that making a decision simply for the short term stock gain is the best strategy, and I am optimistic that our senior leaders agree. Wall Street does not know all, and can absolutely be destructive if the strategy is focused on short term stock verses building strong fundamentals.
