I can't believe that Arpey is stupid enough to step into that pile of festering crap called LCC. If he want's to kill American Airlines, that's one way to do it.
LCC has only a few bits and pieces that are of any value. AA does not need a totally disfunctional pilot group that makes the APA look like a model union, an incompatible fleet, bad overlap on the very few international routes that LCC flies, and zero Pacific, which AA actually needs.

"Stupid is as Stupid does". You know as well a I do that our industry has an incredible history of "stupid stunts".... Take logic and reason out of the equation.

I don't see aa/lcc happening, nothing matches the logical merge ual/lcc, co and aa are holding their own and a merger won't help them, now ual close to bk with compatible fleets and hubs with lcc it's a matter of time and tilton coming to the realization he can't right the ship. You heard it here first.

The big tunas at CP, might find a tidbit or two out of it to nibble on, but lets hope they don't get stoned on any wild ideas.

the rumor coming from alot of airways guys is that the east and west will be split and sold off to CAL and AMR. I cant remember who gets the east or the west. If AMR really wants Airways, they should just wait a year or so and buy their assets in bankruptcy court.

Little off topic...
I was in an AA chief pilots office and he was on a phone call while I was in there. It was a conference call for a tentative agreement with AA managers. It had all CP's from the AA domiciles and some committee people. He said "you didnt hear anything!" (uh huh ok!) SO something is in the works...
