Cramer said that on a show about investing in the market, relating to if he thought it was a good time to invest in airline stock.
It was an offhand remark...not exactly any type of thorough analysis of all the facets of the situation.

The equity stake is at stake.
Not that that is the driving factor, but it's a little bit of our money that we've given up; it'd be nice to get some of it back. We've lost our retirement into the pockets of Horton and his cigar buddies, our scheduling sucks, our product is dated, there's no vision whatsoever at upper management level.
The last CEO with any sort of acumen was Crandall. Since then, it's been one buffoon after another, whose "vision" for AA was simply "Cut labor costs."
Yes, every AA guy I've flown with wants this.

I've heard one guy, out of dozens or hundreds, mention that he's against the deal. Overall he's a mid pack to junior 767 CA.

I base this on two precepts, The first being he as gotton AA labor behind him. The creditors know without labor on board AA cannot succeed. The second being that DP seems to WANT to run a big airline.
