You've seen numbers that show you AA will have to fork out interest payments when Mesa's 900's sit idle when their contract expires?

Contract cost are 1 dimensional, and contract carrier cost go up when they reduce their fleet size. Even if Mesa has cheaper labor cost, to be lower out the door you'd have to throw in moving the planes over there, or idleing brand new ones with interest payments vs. letting Mesa shop a home for their planes no one needs.

You're on other forums suggesting a race to the bottomand to BK, like it's as easy as pushing a reset button with. The executives can easily loose control of the company, and any value of thier stock, if they reissue it.

Also you can't wash a labor contract by simply filling BK, it has to be part of a package a judge signs off on for the company to EXIT BK and still be solvent.

How can they Exit BK right now, with absolutely no info on revenue or passenger demand.

Right now if pilots flew for free the company would have to liquidate before it could reorganize down to 30% of itself without government bailouts. You are absolutely fear mongering, right now there is no cost point to achieve to be successful.
