Anyone surprised? They make the largest airline purchase ever and 5 months later file for bankruptcy..... Grin

Can anyone see a U.S. Airways and American merger??

As far as I know, I am meant to be getting on an AA flight to LAX in a couple of weeks. It is a British Airways flight hosted by AA... I hope that will be okay Sad

You'll be fine, that's the point of bankruptcy. They get 18 months to get their act together. And they will, they'll come out of bankruptcy better off.

I don't think Southwest Airlines has ever filed for Bankruptcy, however I do stand to be corrected, haha, I also don't know if you would classify them in the same league as American Airlines and such, since Southwest doesn't do anything International, however they are a big airline.

You are correct my friend. Says here this leaves Southwest as the only "pre-deregulation carrier" that hasn't filed for bankruptcy but they say they don't really fall under the same category as American and such because they have always been focused on cheap operations.

Sounds like a stupid case. Yeah, blame the people who didn't make your food and blame the airliner because you didn't feel well before boarding Roll Eyes

I usually go and visit a doctor when I don't feel very well... And inside an airport I am sure to note the Information points just in case there is a problem whilst boarding. Wink
