I don't think one can point to anything specific but it sure "feels" like things are beginning to pick up speed. Maybe the catalyst will be when and what the judge rules in regards to the pilot contract....... What happens if and when the judge rules against APA? (I don't see how it will not happen.) Does that also toss out the fragmentation part of their contract? Not trying to be a vulture, would just like to know????

Well if all the bluster on this forum is any real indication of the sentiment over there, if I were a CEO I would pick up the pieces for cheap at the fire sale. I know that's cold and callous, but that is what the AA guys on here seem to be saying.. unless I am misinterpreting their words.
In the end that may be what you see. It may be small pieces, nothing at all, or a whole heck of a lot. Good thing we have a standing merger committee that plans for all possibilities.

I think someone said re enstatement rights only last 6 months so I think I'm going to be out of luck getting back to DTW on the ER. I'm looking for a different crashpad in NYC. I'm willing to pay up to $400 per month for the right place if it's really nice. I'm sick of my hot sheet pad with 20 people coming and going 24/7. PM me if you know of anything. All areas considered.

You wouldn't. It's either LCC and AMR or AMR standalone. Not very exciting, but that's the reality. We might pick up a few slots when it's all said and done, or possibly do a terminal swap in JFK, but that's about it. The Haneda issue is still the most pressing thing down the road.
The reality here is that the AMR issue can solve the HND issue very easily for DAL. It may not be good for the DAL pilots, but for the corporation there is this whole winning in LHR, solving HND and the AMR mess that could be done with one major event. Fact is, DAL doesn't even need to spend a lot and buy all of AMR to do it either. It comes down to what RA and the Board decide to do. There are many "one-offs" with this deal, and all of them are possible and plausible depending on one or two facts that may not yet be set in stone.
