LINK PROVIDED: Hortons' Debut
"...In the end, AT&T could not be saved as an independent company. But the name lives on; SBC bought AT&T in late 2005 and renamed itself as AT&T. Horton said he was glad that they were able to save the brand and protect shareholders and employees as best they could..."

"...American
Gained confirmation of small jet "ownership" in last year's Presidential Emergency Board, but at the cost of a drum-tight scope clause and network-cramping small jet limit. Jury's out on what to expect, but all indications suggest a fusillade of early openers along the lines of "short haul", "A-2", "me too", "flex jets", domestic code-sharing, with a threat of merger(s) if need be..."

End State: Horton hears a WHOO? Wholly Owned Operator?
Arrange for the one, or all, of the AMR brands to be purchased by another aviation entity, with a lower payscale, and still call it whatever but secured by labor agreements that allow the expansion of the "alter-ego" without limits on the ASM caps that Eolesen says restrict the ability of AMR to become profitable.

Boomer, since you're so good at reading and interpreting labor contracts, maybe you should re-read the TWU and APA contracts, and see how corporate successorship works with regards to survivability of the respective contracts.
If selling AMR were all it would take to rid themselves of contracts, I suspect it would have been done already.

Here's a novel idea.....If the company wants all the workrule and monetary changes from maintenance and other TWU title groups, if they want SCOPE and hours flown and scheduling changes from flight crews, why not offer all existing employees a deal they can't refuse?
You are on to something. AMR should offer the union employees a deal they can't refuse, burn through the carriers cash quickly, declare BK and then liquidate. There would be no more AMR and those executive crooks would find a way to keep their golden parachutes then move on to another corporation while the employees would be SOL. How does that sound?
I'd love to see JetBlue purchase AMR for change, relocate the HQ back to NYC where it belongs and restructure the company with largely non-union employees and superior passenger service.

Our best hope is for 5000+ mechanics to put in retirement paperwork at the same time, next month.
By that I mean, send the company "notice of intent" to RETIRE next March. That'll show them.
Let's see, how may sick days do I have in the bank? Damn, my back hurts.

You are spamming various threads with this suggestion of an illegal sick out. If you succeed in doing this I hope you go to jail for breaking federal labor law.
for someone it would still not be enough
