Thats what i was saying. These "news sources" obviously dont have very good sources.

Default Well maybe....

As was mentioned in another thread, maybe they think NWA will burn a lot of cash/resources making the merger transition happen. Its not like NWA mgt has any real motivation to run a good airline, their motivation is to get the merger done, get paid and get lost.

I am surprised to see Jet Blue ranked as so unlikely to go ch 11, sounds to me like JP Morgan has some high end customers that want to unload Jet Blue stock.

You appear to be a good dude! Please convince your senior greedy bastards to buy into the "no windfall" concept. Too bad you're not on the negotiating committee.

At the end of the day...it will be junior guys like you and I (and unfortunately, probably you first, due to LOA 19) who will get the sh&t end of the stick, if your "boys" continue their irrational clown show. The rational NWA guys need to put some pressure on their negotiators to be realistic.

I honestly think that a joint contract will be agreed upon before the LOA 19 ever has to take effect. Getting this thing figured out together is whats best for ALL of us.

NWA financials are pretty good right now based on cash vs debt ratio. Some will say the financials are better then anyone else out there.

I don't think any of the airlines look "pretty good right now..."

"analyst" Jamie Baker is a shill for whoever his firm, JPM, has business with. His boss at JPM tells Baker to tank NW, or CAL or AMR stock and he issues his biased research that tells a story to make JPM clients some quick coin. No substance and consistently inaccurate predictions. His "list" means nothing.

Yes. You must be right. Because the SEC is turning a blind eye on what you're referring to, especially after Enron/Martha Stewart/Tyco/etc. etc.

Have you heard of Ivan Boesky?

I suppose the moon landing was a conspiracy, too, right?

You just had to go and change your post didn't you? Was it to hard having a somewhat optimistic post?
