Back to the topic...sorry to hear about more furloughs.

They are exactly the same from a qual standpoint. No differences training. One type. Only difference is length and seat capacity.

Not sure how much they paid for the naming rights of the American Airlines Arena in Miami either.

On March 18, 1999, American Airlines announced that it would be acquiring the naming rights for the arena for US$195 million ( wiki )

Doesn't AA's bankruptcy filing say the company has $4 billion in cash? Pretty sure it does.

Cash on hand means squat when filing BK. NWA had over $3 billion in cash when they filed.

135 operators, some 91 gigs, Skywest, and I believe even PinnaColAba...could be wrong on the last one, but I thought I heard that door had not closed.

In my view, now still beats that stretch from later 08 til mid 2010 when flight schools weren't even looking.

We're still hiring. All new hires are mainly going to the Saab.
