When you consider the number of media types that LCC has obviously hired to push this merger proposal over and over and over, it is no surprise at all that boards like this are infiltrated by people who want to tell us how great this merger will be.
Problem is the creditors aren't convinced and there really is no evidence that AA labor is other than in the increased leverage it gives them against AA, who is trying to fight off the possibility of labor and other creditors realistically bolting for greener pastures.
It isn't the first time that a company in BK has had to fight for its life.... and it also goes to show that AA does have some flexility in its restructuring process to make some changes that might SOMEWHAT lessen the pain for labor...
but the notion that US will provide a significantly better alternative to a standalone, reorganized AA is nothing more than a pipedream....
and yes, many people can see it and have said it in many different ways.
The LCC media machine just isn't ready to give up given that the future for US absent a merger with AA looks very uncertain.
WT,
Can you C&P that quote and put it here:
