This will get some of our pilots nickers in a twist. Good for AA, make it work for you, not the greedy pilots. Looks like someone just stole the bargaining leverage.
DFW-PEK was in jeopardy the day it was filed. Had they done it right and filed via ORD to begin with, then they'd probably have a stronger chance. I still don't see UA getting anything more than a backup authority and/or the ability to transfer existing frequencies to IAD-PEK.
As for the merger games, I never said AA will stand pat, G. My impression is that Arpey isn't interested in playing, and that AA would be better off by standing on the sidelines.
That doesn't mean AA won't jump into the frey and drive up the price for someone else, though. They'd be foolish not to make it more expensive for the competition.
What's stranger than not commenting on NWA's plea to bankers is that Horton finally came out and mentioned starting the MD80 fleet renewal in an interview, and nobody's mentioned it because they're pre-occupied with China and the latest land grab by the SkyGods. DL is selling 737-800's. AA operates 737-800's. Any chance that the fleet renewal is starting with ex-DL aircraft rather than new Boeing orders?
HOW does AA get into CHINA ??

Nor'Easta,
Frankly, once it's official that AA does NOT get the award, I agree with you.
"Mathmatically" there IS no other way !
Also, on the DL board, I forget the topic at the moment,(tonite) There was a post that said, that Goldman Sachs felt that there was a 50/50 chance that DL, AND NW WOULD be bought out, WHILE they both were still in BK.
Obviously, that prediction is NOT etched in stone, and NW is STILL in BK, though they are searching for a $$$ "SUGAR DADDY".
Back to the "math" (very few remaining possibilities to get to ASIA), for a moment. There IS no other way to get into china, short of "making a move" on NW, while they're still in BK, (for a short time) !!!!!
Obviously, AA and UAL are'nt gonna' "jump into the hay together".
NH/BB's
Yeah, you guys go ahead and applaud management, and rebuke the Pilots for taking a stand as management hands out millions in stock option bonuses again right after the first of the year!
Like the Pilots or not, at least they are the only group trying to get something back instead of licking management boots while uncalled for management bonuses are lining the pockets of those at the top.
That's right, screw the workers and applaud the greed!
