That could be one course of action. All of this is speculation so I should have thrown the word "Potential" in front of liquidation.
The other thing that's notable is that the union used the term "continuing" in front of legal actions they are taking. This infers that the MEC has known about the issue of AMR keeping the aircraft since they are continuing legal action.
This letter was the first we heard about this "continuing legal effort."
