Mick, its never going to happen mate.!
Drawing a line in the sand will not work, except to speed up the demise of AA.
Look, the owners of the airline I work for expects to make 8 percent on their investment, and they do, thats why they are the most profitable airline in the world.
I bet london to a brick that the owners of AA make nowhere near that on their investment and quite frankly they would be better closing up shop, selling the a/c and the real estate and putting the money into a cash management account.
I do sympathise with the guys, but being profitable for a year and a half after years and years of losses does not even begin to cut into the losses already incurred.
They will never ever get back to the good old days, its just not going to happen and as much as people disagree with 411A, he is right, either bite the bullet and except what you are getting now or get out and start again somewhere else.
