"It's a whole lot cheaper for me to have the assets and start over than to have the liabilities," Bronner said.
You know,
Kinda struck me as strange that they had not sold off MidAtlantic to raise funds, afterall, it is a viable asset that many investors would want to obtain... :huh:
Then it struck me, ahhh I get it.
This (Airways) is all kinda like my computer... B)
If your computer is all locked up, unable to get your programs to work, then you grumble aloud, reach down, and hit your "reset button"...
Now, no one likes to do that, as you probably lose what you were working on (old US Airways), and have to wait for the computer to reboot (Bankruptcy) and reload all of the needed programs (workgroups w/ new work agreements).
Soon enough, your "computer" is back up and running better than before, with nothing slowing it down, or causing a undue drain on system resources.
No "liabilities" you could say... :unsure:
Bronner told the newspaper that he and other investors potentially would be better off if US Airways liquidated, because they could buy its planes, gates and routes at cheap prices, and not have to take on labor contracts.
Hmmm, I probably will get shuffeled off into a temporary file if this were to occur, but at least I would not have to worry about being deleted. Cannot say the same for all the other programs in this big computer we call an airline...
