You realize that while yes there is a beautful sunrise to my east and the death toll is still 0... For now... that that could change at any moment!? This Wintry Mix 2011 is a fluid and dangerous situation certain to only get worse. I highly recommend that people stay scared, stay indoors and in the Tebow position until I say it's safe.

If this works for AA then it's still the AA of old, always beating the competition.

I was going to post something said at the bar just to illustrate the ridiculous nature of unsubstantiated rumors like Orvil is spouting, but since it would have come from a source that was at the LCP meeting (me) it would probably make the rounds as "An LCP said...." so I am not going down that road. Sorry to get your hopes up. I'm really try not to spread rumors unless I have a good source. He cites none, and it doesn't pass the smell test to begin with.

Yep. I figured right before the end of the year. Their bookings may be crud and figured it would preserve cash and no effect them too much.

AA has almost 30 billion in debt and are paying some of the highest financing rates amongst the majors. And the reason they filed is because of they were unable to get labor to take pay cuts???
