One thing is wrong with your opinion. Suppose we give AA everything they want, they still file bankruptcy and, like United, they ask the Judge for further cuts and possible abbrogate all labor agreements.

My idea may be wrong, but my opinion is my opinion and can then neither be wrong or right. But, I''ll not quibble semantics...
I don''t know if you''ve read the TWU-ATD Director''s message from the 26th, but I will sum it up for you, becasue I think they are calling it right (yeah, yeah, kool-aid, blah blah. Prove them and me wrong, and I''ll admit it.).
AA is going to get these cuts one way or the other. In my VHO, I think it would be more beneficial for the employees to at least TRY to protect themselves as much as is possible. Can those agreements get thrown out? Yes, they can as United is proving. But I would rather take the chance that the judge would not uphold the agreements than not have the agreements in the first place.
