It's not worth starting a new thread for, but there were a few other interesting filings over the course of the last few days.....
I've mentioned here and there the 24 Boeings that US has filed to reject the leases on with dates "to be announced". Two have had dates announced via filings. N587US, a 737-300, is to be rejected on April 10 and N437US, a 737-400, is to be rejected on April 17. Since I haven't seen a list of tail numbers for the 11 airplanes scheduled to be removed in May, I can only presume that these are the first of those and not in addition to them.
A listing of payments made to "ordinary course professionals" for the period 9/12 thru 1/10 was filed. These appear to be the run of the mill outside people that a company hires in the ordinary course of business and not bankruptcy related expenses. The list is
here. The one that really caught my eye was a real estate broker in PIT. Paid them over $156 thousand per month since entering BK. That's almost enough to pay the lease cost on 2 737's.
An amendment to the GE deal was filed, the second. Both are because the aircraft sale/leaseback arrangement in that deal did not proceed as quickly as envisioned in the original deal. This meant that US paid monthly installments on the 2001 credit facilitylonger than envisioned and the changes allow US to draw an equal amount back out.
Finally, on the US/UA "fight" over the AirWis deal. Apparently, the BK court handling UA's case continued the hearing till this Friday pending a resolution between the parties, so the hearing in US's BK court was also postponed till Monday.
