I feel bad for the 1400 or whatever pilots they just hired for Eagle. It's a big shame too cause I'm sure this is like the 3rd or 4th furlough they've been through.
And if they actually get those 400+ new planes, I think I'll crap myself!

would you rather the company go completely `bust` and lose everything? AA have the heaviest larbour contracts in the USA and its crippling the airline - if they cannot restructure, i hope those said same unions can afford to pay the soon to be unemployed pilots and aircrew the wages they apparantly deserve......

Large fries:
Anyone who books after the filing has lots of protections. But, whether before or after filing, if payment is made with a credit card (most are) you are fully protected in any case.
They are still taking bookings on AA.com without any warning of bankruptcy, is this legal?
Few questions. Be grateful for answers.
1. What happens to the stockholders equity ? Is it all lost ? Had they already regarded their investments as gone ?
2. What happens to all the stock and stock options granted to the execs in recent years. Is that all lost for them ? Big loss for them ?
3. What happens to their slots at Heathrow ? This is the UK, outside US bankruptcy laws. If a carrier is bankrupt do the slots go back to the pool ? If not why not ? There will be a different company coming along; who says they just Grandfather the rights ?
That would be those lengthy sectors in the US with no catering provided, I presume. Remind me which "mainstream" world class carriers in other continents would dream of doing this ? And the attitude of the flight attendants, the highest paid and yet the worst attitude flight attendants in the world.

Chapter 11 like a debt restructure. Stock is currently -80% to 33cents per share. Stock options / holdings all bombed out like wise. slots etc will still be operatiing if they have cash flow - which one suspects they do hence why they called time now.

WHBM I thought that Heathrow slots could be transferred to the 'corporate successor' of the holder, which is how American (and United) got theirs in the first place.

Halloween,
no, I don't want AA to go bust but I do want to see a sweep at the HQ. Bring people who can actualy run a business, not a bunch of losers who reward themselves for failure.
Note: I am surprised that the CEO did take responsability for the failure and moved on to let new blood bring new life to this airline.

It's another bogus bankruptcy ...
... and should be thrown out.

Step two: divide amongst the people in the back
Step three: multiply by length of flight.
People pay their pilots $20 or less to fly across the Atlantic. Don't believe the hype. American's problem is a dearth of leadership.
