After you would have deducted what MP would have taken for themselves, I assume the rest would have been to pay down debt or for operations. These monies were only one part of a restructuring plan. Many parts of this plan are already in effect, especially debt restructuring, which beside being paid off sooner, shouldn't be affected by this. While it would have been nice to have this money, I think GAH will survive without it.

I have read them and I hope that GAH does complete it's "restructuring".
My intention was only to point out that GAH has financial issues, and that it appears that the restructuring may be in some trouble without the FDX award money. I have many friends there, and I hope that they keep their eyes open and don't assume that things are rosy. They aren't.

Good luck to all.

During the first nine months of 2011, a decline in non-fuel AMC rates and entitlement for 2011, our capital expenditure requirements and a decline in anticipated commercial cargo demands and yields had a negative impact on our liquidity and financial position. We are evaluating our capital restructuring options with our equity sponsor MatlinPatterson and our Second Lien Loan holder, GSO Capital, which include various alternatives including, but not limited to, the issuance of equity and debt for equity swaps. In addition, we have negotiated extended payment terms with certain key vendors, and have amended a number of aircraft leases to reduce aircraft lease costs by approximately $3 million, $18 million, and $18 million in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively..."
