Bar, agreed. We also need the NKS SA route authorities and will get one and AMR will get the other. I suspect we will get HI as well.
If I were AMR I would not want to sit tight, but it is probably the best thing they can do right now. Their had has been forced, but going after AS right now will force them to spend money they do not have.
DAL has been paying down debt way too quickly. Now does that make sense?
