Hope you guys stand strong and preserve as much as you can and come out as strong as possible.

Other airlines will benefit regardless how any one "feels." History repeats.

I know I'm incorrect most of the time, but those 300+ guys at AMR that took the early out last fall are the smartest pilots in the industry. The saw something.

A possible gamechanger. Nobody is going to take on AMR pension liability

It is pretty interesting to see how little some of these analysts actually know. They mention USAIR and AMR as the most likely pair to combine with no further analysis.
Like the fact that USAIR in some regards is still functioning as two separate airlines. And most importantly, good luck combing the AMR labor groups with the other two groups - it would be very, very, very difficult to pull off. Labor lawyers on the other hand would love it.
Good luck to all the AMR Bubba's!

US Airways is making a ton of money right now because the pilot groups haven't come together. They would continue to make money with 3 pilot groups. I thought this was common knowledge?

If they 'knew' they would have shorted AA stock.

To the second, smart investors stay away from airline stocks.
