What if?...(an AMR thread)

LOL Me either. I'd rather have them fill the plane with shirtless guys. LOL

I don't know I remember that guy who tried to sue to be a Hooters girl and he wasn't that attractive.

The end of the day is AA isn't going anywhere.

More so they will become a force. If they get the unions in line, new fleet and some good management they will kick butt. Without having to merge with anyone.

The first round of moves on American's part have been made. They just rejected the leases on 35 narrow bodies. Mostly MD-83's and a handful of Fokker 100's that they were still paying lease on.

Here's a very good read on AA's Chapter 11 filing. Really puts things into perspective and dispels many of the rumors.

Good find. My favorite part There is not much market for used MD-80s, and it is likely that any
pressure to reduce lease payments would be successful

Ya think?


Basically that analysis used a lot of fancy words to say what everyone knew. AA was like GM. Being crippled by a union and unfunded pension whose cost to fly people was higher than everyone else. While having to match low fares with airlines that already declared bankruptcy and shed the dead wood and were now stronger than AA was.
