Gloating? Both Jim and I have pensions with AA, and I'd like to make sure it keeps coming without dealing with the PBGC. I've got dozens of friends who still work there.
No, I don't want AA to fail.
That said, the current management team has destroyed everything AA used to stand for, so the only thing that's the same is the name on the pension check.
The sad part is AA's unions recruited Parker in what was probably one of the most short-sighted moves ever. The previous team had issues, but they certainly understood finance and long term planning.
No, it's not gloating. I'm actually mourning what y'all did to what used to be my airline.
