AMR bankruptcy and the regionals

[paid4training]

I'm thinking eagle is about to have a very bad year(sold to the only bidder) and everyone who provides lift for AA will be in a world of s¥1t.... Hiring for maj will come to a halt and regionals will become like 2008 for 2-3 years... Just a prediction!!!!

Depends if AMR even survives a BK. The rules have totally changed in the last decade. Borders thought they could reorganize with CH11 and look what's happened with them.

My prediction...

If AMR declares...

The remaining majors will work to put em out by "buying" more scope off of the mainline guys to "compete", followed by a concessionary contract at AA, a spinoff (IPO) of eagle, and 99 seats across the industry to "compete". Everyone lives, but won't move forward (contractually). Don't worry, passengers won't pay more in the process either.

Just a prediction, don't shoot.

I think it's more likely that their highly leveraged assets that actually have any value (737,777, LHR) would be repossessed and sold, leaving all the worthless pieces (MD80's/eagle) to be auctioned off. AA hubs would be very quickly absorbed by existing airlines.

We're American Airlines, something special in the air!

Add age 70 (if not 75) to that mix.

I just bought a ton of AMR stock for under 2 bucks yesterday. Im optimistic that they will not file chapter 11 and I should make out like a bandit like post 911 transportation stocks

You dont make anything until you hit the "sell" button

If Mesa can find financing im pretty sure AA can find it.
