Reminds me of when Trump tried to buy AMR back in the latter 80s. Crandall stared him down and Trump made a lot of cash off the stock price increase...

Sterling holdings sounds legit. I think I'm gonna dump all my retirement savings into AMR and hope it goes through and ride it for 50%.

The Titans are hiring hedge funds to shake things up a little, find out what Wall Street is willing to pay. Wouldnt suprise me either to learn Branson is somehow behind this. BA would have a fit. Titans forcing hands....just like a cheap poker table boys but the stakes are billions of pounds of egos and aluminum.

Sun Country is buying AMR. You heard it here first! Only US based private airlines would be Sun Country, Virgin America, and Spirit

You have to go all the way back to mid-2008 before you seen even just a few months of trading above 9 bucks.

While this offer is a hoax, I'd take nearly 10 bucks for this stock in a heartbeat!

Quick thought. Does anyone know how, if at all, pilots' and FA's pensions will be effected if this type of asset transfer occurs? Any provisions in terms of "change of control"? If so, this could likely be a collaboration between AMR and this firm to force retirements, allowing AMR to get what they often call " industry highest labor costs" under control. Thoughts?
