allardjd 1,853 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I just saw a news flash that AMR, the parent company of American Airlines has filed for bankruptcy protection. No word yet on what that might mean for ongoing operations. It will probably continue to fly for a while at least. John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 It looks as though it will give them the opportunity to downsize and become more efficient. Unfortunately that means letting staff go and consolidating routes but they will probably come out of it a lot stronger, Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 So, the last of the 'majors' has declared Chapter 11. Shame really, since several AA 772/763's fly over here every day. That's 2 airlines in 2 weeks - Astreaus folded last week I feel sorry for those who will be let go. Bad time to go.
