I would not want to be an unsecured creditor of American Airlines for the next 15 years.

It might not be smart to be an unsecured creditor of AA for a portion of the next three......

They can set it up to where your name stays on the list, and money doesn't stop until your name is furloughed. I'am sure many would rather that the a "guarantee".

Anyone who is 62-63 would be foolish not to take the early retirement. They will get what amounts to a pension for 3 years and could go and do something else and make way more money total that what they would by staying. It would be a no brainer for me.

Particularly a junior widebody CA who will likely get displaced to Group 2 CA. Retire now at 50 hours Group 4 CA pay or work your butt off at Group 2 CA pay for just a couple grand more than you would have made retired

i really doubt many will take this round of VPLOA’s

I hate to say it, but I think unfortunately it is getting less. I don't remember last time I flew with a guy who believed the mother ship is in CB cells. I don't think we even have a flat-earther in our group!

What's happening to this place?
