Bottom line: AA's bankruptcy wasn't like the rest of ours. It certainly wasn't like US's. US really was bankrupt.

Just like the recent DL contract vote, it was up to the AA pilots to decide their fate. I think they made the right decision, but no matter what happens there will be people arguing about it for years to come. It's done and if we end up merging with AA I will be proud of their actions and proud to join their ranks.

If it is a merger, you will not be joining their ranks.

Dude, it is not "their ranks." They are not acquiring us.

I'm too old to be a dude. That would be my son.

We don't know who will be acquiring whom, but since AA has about 50% more cash than US, I think that makes "acquire" a nebulous term.

Just like US/AW, US/AA would most likely be a merger, not an acquisition.

Lol. Why don't ya just throw World peace in there too. The odds of either are about as good as a politician without a personal agenda.

PS-I know you're joking. Hence the

Me personally, I don't want anything to do with any part of AMR. Their employees are already going through enough. I wish them the best. I personally haven't been through a BK, but I've heard the stories from guys I've flown with. It doesn't sound fun.
