So this leaves them with 6 billion, almost zero revenue and operational cost to be paid. How on earth can they repay that? A bailout is just another loan. So then you stack that debt on top of the almost 30 billion in debt they currently owe. BK will allow them to throw out labor contracts, restructure debt, screw the bond and share holder for them to fight another day. Another thing to keep in mind is AA was already operating at a negative cash flow prior to this. When delta and United were paying down debt AA was focused on buying back stock. It’s going be a bumpy ride to put it light. My thoughts are they will be about 30% smaller when they exit bk.
