Maybe it’s been discussed elsewhere, but there are so many concurrent threads on this topic that it’s hard to keep up with what’s been said where. A huge component to this combination will be the DOJ signing off, and if they do, how will the parts be divested to pass muster? That is one of the huge unknowns among a thousand others.

What would they have to divest? There really isnt much overlap.

You think the creditors commitee would just stand around picking lint out of their butt cheeks while AMR looted the assets for personal gain ?

LOL !!!

What would the judge be doing...........shooters of Wild Turkey and surfing the net ?

AMR strated this sham BK with 4 and one-half billion dollars and are up another billion since filing. We all need to open our eyes here.

1 billion more in pocket or 1 billion less in pocket.

i would like to be doing shots of wild turkey but in a night club and not surfing the net, that is for the new generation. i like to see real life the girl i am talking to rather than some one else's picture.

They would not be giving up anything in JFK. They would only move terminals. The exact same flights would operate. Delta has tried to get terminal 8 within the last few years and they have port authority support since AMR can't utilize all the gates in 8 with the restrictions on flights out of JFK. The port authority is now a creditor of AMR.
Miami is profitable and would command a lot of cash. Cash always talks especially to creditors. That is why you don't want to go into chapter 11 if you can avoid it. AMR management is now in a bad place. They have a viable offer from USAIR. Even if they fend it off they are now going to lose most of the hoped for gains in chapter 11. Regardless of how it turns out and who retains control the labor agreements with the unions at AMR is a very crafty move on the part of Parker. He either gets the airline or they emerge from Chapter 11 as a standalone but don't get to rape the employees and creditors and lose most of not all the benefits of filing in the first place.
