Other than being complete clowns? Not much.

So the boys in bankruptcy are running to the press in an attempt to shape the conversation at the negotiating table.. Seems to me that APA ain't got what they want and are trying alternate ways to get it.

Spoke with a furloughed AA friend of mine today. He's not going back, the friends he knows are absolutely not going bad, and the friends they know aren't going back. But who knows. I know it's a gamble. I'm 30 years old and I guess sometimes you have to take some risk in life and not look behind. That is what I will do and everything else is out of my hands. I'm fortunate to be offered a job at a legacy carrier and it's something I can't pass up. I'm single, no wife, no kids, cheap rent, etc. I appreciate all the good responses as they have really been beneficial

KJ, I was hired at a major at 28, thought I hit the lottery, however i have been furloughed 4 times since then, oh well...since your not married, no kids etc, it is a no brainer to go to the major job, good luck to you in your career

Thanks guys so much for the input. Is there a Jan 3rd class or is Jan 14th the first of the year?

Will being in bankruptcy hurt current AA pilots in the eyes of a seniority list arbitration?

God I hope so. If you will recall the quotes, "What part of BANKRUPT don't you TWA guys understand?" and "We Fooked you because we could!"
