AMR Files For Bankruptcy
#41
The court motions are not on line yet on the Southern District website.
Did AMR's filing include a motion to stop lump sum pension pay outs?
They can do that if the fund threatens to fall below a certain liquidity level. That's what Delta did except there was a delay after the bankruptcy filing.
I expect a lot of pilots will put in their notice to retire effective Dec 1st.
This may be the last chance to get at those lump sums.
A lot of guys now have only 2 days to make a huge life decision.

I wonder how all those Nordstrom Pilots are feeling this morning! All those years of looking down their noses at everyone else has finally caught up with them. My dad always said, "never pi$$ into the wind".

Never seen that attitude at AA. Nothing but professionalism on multiple jumpseat rides. Of course the TWA guys may think differently. Perspective I guess...

32.5% of their pay, that's B.S. I'll bet upper management isn't taking that big a cut.

The question that has not been asked is "What changes were made to the bankruptcy laws several years ago?" Changes where scheduled to go into effect and Northwest and Delta filed just prior to that happening to get in under the wire as I recall, however my memory is getting old and fuzzy, not unlike my ears.

Almost like saying Irish beer is bad because of the Battle of Hastings 1066....simply an irrevelent flame bait with ZERO facts.
