Aloha Airlines files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

[English]

ALPA National should be sending bankruptcy lawyers to Honolulu to review all of the proceedings and make sure the accounting is accurate.

You must have some influence. It has been done today.

 

[English]

[font=Times New Roman,Times,Serif]The airline has retained Giuliani Advisors to assist in exploring strategic alternatives to maximize value through the Chapter 11 process.

Any takers?

Like I said on another thread... there's gonna be all sorts of shady $hit coming to light as a result of this... I'm glad we didn't give Banmiller a dime. Personally, given his track record with HAL pilots, I'd rather take my chances with Judge Faris.

If you come out of this with ALPA not intentionally screwing you, it's a bonus.

Don't waive your scope clause whatever you do!TC

Gordon Bethune is retiring from CO. Says he would not rule out another aviation challenge.

My money is on your rumored 30 planes coming from USAirways, not Aloha.

I believe ALPA national has done a fine job helping HAL with its bankruptcy. Their financial analysis has helped tremendously in our position duing our ongoing contract negotiations.

That said, I do believe they could grow a bigger pair and be more vocal in the press like the AFA has.

Nice to know employees will get paid. Surprises me to see the Chings and Ings digging in their wallet. How's that figure in the strategery of it all?
