So, start your own business.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Most of the senior execs at AA are not thieves or criminals.

OK, I'll tone that down, they are beholden to the tyranny of the bottom line which forces them to compromise their ethics and thus become liars, cheats and thieves.

So that AA declares bankruptcy?

This is actually a good thing and I hope all the majors declare bankruptch. This would allow the regionals to end their contracts with the majors and start filling the sky with fast, efficient and inexpensive regional jets (thereby creating more jobs).

That was an interesting comment you made there. However, does that mean the new regionals will be non-unionized in order to be profitable?

If they file bankruptcy the execs get their retirement bonuses, but my uncle who has worked for American for 17 years and is 3 years away from a pension gets shafted.

The CRJ250 is really nice aircraft.
