Are We There Yet?

[410OhOne]

Kinda reminds me of the long trip to Grandma's house, but I have to ask. Are we there yet? Are we there yet on a decision on the maintenance bases?

I'm thinking they will end up keeping all three open.

Tulsa is safe. MCI is not worth much. AFW is worth a lot on the market.

AFW is a state of the art facility. It is near headquarters. AA pays about $45 million a year in rent. AFW is worth $100 million a year. Boeing is interested in AFW and so are two other airlines or airline maintenance companies. $45 million may seem a big chunk of cash, but it's worth more than that. Lets just say that AFW is an investment into the future for American Airlines. AFW is not going anywhere and neither is Tulsa. So IF a base closure should occur, you figure out which one it will be.

TULSA? AFW? MCI?
:unsure:
