As for an AA BK, if that does happen (not likely IMO). it would be pre packaged and it's purpose would be debt and cost reduction and not a vehicle to either run into the arms of glorious U or be planed in a position of being molested by them.

I think you guys should keep dreaming though.....that's what I'd be doing if I was U pilot.

Adding PHL and CLT would be pointless and closing those and moving that traffic to the other hubs won't work as there is no room at those hubs to do it.

What might be possible is an AA/U alliance which might give Parker some breathing room. Parker desperately needs out of this untenable situation and if I were him, I'd be looking at anything at this point and I mean anything. I wouldn't surprise me if he did a Benihana and sliced and diced his operation. Not sure what form it would take or how, but there has to be a way of going back to the future and in this case running over the old man before his seed can produce this monster.

I cannot think of anything good that's going to happen to the East group and AA deliberately choosing to acquire this illness is unthinkable. At the very least, I think Parker will isolate the East and let it operate as is without growing it and probably shrinking it as its employee bases shrinks due to attrition until it either stops making money and he can take it BK or it runs out of employees.

I wonder if he can reseperate U/AWA and if he can, would he then codeshare and/or IA that with AA (or others) to preserve market presence until he has an excuse to scuttle the ship and restart or bury ?

USAPA is a pariah and I cannot think of a single airline pilot group in the nation that would want anything to do with them.

Congrats career FO!! and BTW don’t let the facts get in the way of your wonderful opinions.

Your "facts" are propwash. I'm not sweating your claims of either certain BK for AA, nor AA poisoning itself with U.

BTW, the old "your just an RJ loser" whine is as old as the hills and lacks imagination. Try a little harder with your flamebait attack next time.

Food for thought for you, the fact is that not even the CEO’s know what exactly will happen with their own airline before the end of each day, the airline industry is and has always been “Dynamic” ok, so have a good night’s rest and BTW after all and from reading your previous posts, you sound like a very hilarious guy.
