American Airways sounds ok...

Yeah Preacherman, we got a few. U looking for a job, u could have mine. I'm ready to be a househusband!!!
You won't like it, and I don't want to move to the Northeast.LOL
I read this stuff and shrug my shoulders and laugh. I live right by PHL, winds outta the east today and just got to see the A333 service from Rome come in. The one flight they have from Rome to the main "international hub" in Philly. Philadelphians, at least the ones that travel, tend to consider US Airways the inferior local bad airline we are stuck with. Flying thru SFO recently, i look at all those United flights and think wow, now that's a real airline. US Air has so many problems, as others have pointed out, but also they are just so much smaller than American. How on earth could this possibly work?
Parker has the three unions with seats on the creditors committee on board with the merger. If he gets the rest of the creditor committee to agree with US AIrways plan on how to proceed with American's bankruptcy, the creditor committee can petition the judge to allow a competing plan to be entered in the bankruptcy process. American would lose the right to have exclusivity during the bankruptcy process. Parkers's plan saves almost 6000 jobs over Americans plan. If the "money" guys see the value in this and other aspects of his plan, this is a done deal.
