By jesus Eric, you sure don't need me to stick up for you, cause you do that quite well for yourself.
In my view Jeff Smisek is Not smarter than you when it comes to AMR !
(Note: dont let anything I say positive about you, go to that Scandinavian noggin of your's)
For the record, I was (at last check) FOR the US/AA merger.(having changed from my original Anti-US position)
WELL, as of this moment in time, AND NEVER again changing again, I'm cautiously optimistic that AA going it alone is the best way to go. OF COURSE getting APA to a 51/49% or better, For it, is the keystone/lynchpin !!!!!!!!!!
As for the weak/worthless TWU, and the somewhat stronger APFA, it really doesn't matter because with the "majority numbers" being in DFW/TUL respectively, HDQ could get a "51/49" any day of the week !
AA has (so far) an unbroken string of "Falling into a pile of cow Shite, and always emerging with a NEW SUIT on".
I'd like to think that Horton has a wopper of a secret deal for E-jets, or C-Jets on the back burner to unleash once he gets the OK from APA. Virtually overnight, AA could return to it's $$ success of the Crandall 90's by flying virtually everywhere while feeding South America and Europe(with BA) and Asia(with JAL)
And for shiits and giggles, I'd love to see AA grab a half dozen 777-200LR's for ORD-SYD, ( trip range 9232 Mi/A/C max with full Pax load 9395 Mi./A/C equipted with available extra fuel tanks) while QF continues the DFW-SYD run.
For the record, UAL (currently) doesn't have the metal for ORD-SYD.
But as usual (in this game)...Time will tell !
Tick.....Tick...Tick !
