Ignorance is bliss, isn't it?

Doomsday prepper? No

Been around long enough to know a little something about business, the business cycle, and how corporate boards have operated since the 1980's? Yes.

Coherent of my surroundings enough to observe how UAL and DAL were able to successfully squeeze their contracts and destroy their pension plans in BK? Yes.

Read enough to know that as a condition of the U.S. Government approving the AA/US merger, the DOJ required that the new AA not be permitted to declare BK or furlough any employees for period of five years? Yes.

How long has it been since the merger now?
