E-MAIL TO A SENATOR -
Senator McCain:
From all indications it appears that something is radically wrong in the whole TWA-AMR affair.
1. Why does AMR get away with proposing that TWA file Chapter 11, in concert with a buyout proposal? It was my impression that the U.S. laws were changed as a result of the Lorenzo filings to preclude an obvious prostitution of the law. Is the law that selective? If it is, Americans must ask, "What law?? There is none."
2. With respect to the retirees (or early out personnel), those individuals had a valid and reasonable contract with TWA, which can't cost AMR a dime to honor.
3. With respect to the TWA employees being terminated as an automatic and selective provision of the bankrupcy action, where is the justice expected from a court of the United States of America?
I encourage you to substitute the name of someone you love for the names of those affected. Does that strike you as just, equitable or morally acceptable? Is that the morality which you represent as a U.S. Senator?
This action represents the precursor to your treatment in the Hanoi Hilton. Please represent the voters, as provided by law, not big business.
Yours truly,
