Currently, the FAA is holding off on enforcing the 80% rule.

But with airline travel UNIVERSALLY down, and scope limitations even paring back regional flights, the slots collateralizing these loans to airline could evaporate once the moratorium on enforcement is over. At that point it would become ‘use it or lose it’ Which coukd make holders of bonds backed by slots....twitchy.

That’s highly unlikely. One taking your planes and walking mean selling them at a very large discount. My guess is AA has it pretty well prepackaged when/if they file. From everything the analyst are saying we have a while before we file.

Exactly. Let alone if AA could dump pensions and get the level field others have there it would be a huge savings alone.

On the horns of a dilemma : shrink and infrastructure and debt cannot be managed. Hold to present size or thereabouts and the daily cash burn destroys the company.
Acid test - who would loan even more money to AAG with those prospects?

Yes, the credit is collateralized by planes. Say, they were loaned to 80% of resale value. Now the the resale value has dropped to 10%. Banks do not like to hold onto planes for several years, for values to increase. So, not a good deal to take planes. just hold onto what you can, and take the altered terms.

Most likely scenario. Plans for Ch11, but not going to execute those plans unless liquidity drops below a preset level.
