Yup. Is there a way Gloopy can auto-proxy the contract survey for anyone too lazy to take it?

I've got a new standard for my landings - soft, hard, or "tear the engines off hard":
Accident: Aeropostal DC95 at Puerto Ordaz on Sep 26th 2011, hard landing tears engines off
An Aeropostal Douglas DC-9-50, registration YV136T performing flight VH-342 from Caracas to Puerto Ordaz (Venezuela) with 125 passengers and 5 crew, made a hard touch down at Puerto Ordaz causing both engines' (JT8D) pylons and support structures at the airframe to crack and distort nearly separating the engines from the airframe. The airplane slowed safely, stopped on the runway and was shut down. No injuries occurred, the aircraft received substantial damage. The passengers disembarked onto the runway.
The aircraft was later towed off the runway.
No Metars and no local weather station data of Puerto Ordaz/Ciudad Guayana are available.

Admittedly, DAL is in a different place than AA. However, I think we are starting to see the legacy response to this exciting wave of retirements we have been looking forward to. From the AA thread:
Looking like between 100-150. And what does AA do? Shrink the schedule another 4% due to pilot shortages.

Yep, their pilots that are eligible to take the lump sum are doing so and running knowing full well that CH11 would take it all away. Their PB will be massively underfunded when they enter and as a result it too will be sent to the PBGC.

I have been hearing this same thing for years now.
Does anyone know: What substantial changes to the bankruptcy laws make bankruptcy life so much more difficult for companies today?
