NEWS! Bankruptcy – American Airlines Files for Chapter 11

Sharing is caring!

I personally do not like flying on American Airlines but I am saddened by this news

American Airlines parent AMR Corp. filed for bankruptcy after failing to secure cost-cutting labor agreements and sitting out a round of mergers that dropped it from the world’s largest airline to No. 3 in the U.S.

“Cuts will come: They’ve said everything is normal for now, but the cutting will surely start soon. They’ll reduce aircraft, employees and routes,” said Seth Kaplan of Airline Weekly. And I am thinking a rise in cost of tickets?

American Airlines is currently in a whooping $29.6 billion in debt!!!!

What do you think about this Bankruptcy?
