The end of the gravy train...
Notice that the American Airlines pilots' union (APA) has rejected a report indicating that AA will file for bankruptcy in May...and Northwest has told their ALPA pilots that wages and benefits/pensions could well be rolled back to 1996 levels.
Would expect many are still in a severe state of denial, but will have to face the music at some point...there is a sea change taking place in the airline industry in the USA, make no mistake.
Tough times ahead for many...management certainly included.
