If they're in such dire straits that they are going to close a WO, they would be in BK. And if they're in BK, they can get out of those burdensome contracts with contract carriers. Liquidate a company that flies jets that you own, or cut contracts and say peace, talk to you later. Hmmmmm, are you guys actually acting like there is even a decision to be made here?


"Sometimes WO equals PWNED" lol dude.... come on. Which regionals have furloughed? Which have shut down? Which have lost flying to other carriers? I can tell you that none of them were AA WOs. Some of these cats are getting to mainline in five years or less, their companies are stable. Might not be the best QOL or pay out there, but you can't argue it is a bad deal for anyone.
