American
expects 
(
dus dat kan elk moment veranderen ?? )to continue normal business operations throughout the reorganization process, and the business will continue to be operated by the Company's management. The United States Chapter 11 reorganization process enables a company to maintain normal business operations while it establishes a competitive cost and debt structure. This action has no direct legal impact on any American Airlines operations outside the United States.
American Airlines is operating normal flight schedules, honoring tickets and reservations as usual, and making normal refunds and exchanges. American's AAdvantage® frequent flyer program is not affected. American remains part of the oneworld® alliance, of which it is a founding member, and all of its codeshare partnerships continue, enabling customers to earn and redeem miles on convenient flight options worldwide.
"American's customers are always our top priority and they can continue to depend on us for the safe, reliable travel and high quality service they know and expect from us," said Thomas W. Horton, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of AMR and American Airlines. "American serves 260 airports in more than 50 countries and territories, and we are committed to maintaining a strong presence in worldwide markets. I am confident American will emerge even stronger as a global leader known for excellence and innovation, a travel partner customers seek out, and a carrier that serves communities throughout the world."
Delta is in 2005 in Chapter 11 gegaan, in 2007 kwamen ze eruit en in 2008 zijn ze gefuseerd met NWA om zo de (tot de UA-CO merger) grootste airline ter wereld te worden. United ging in 2002 in Chapter 11 en kwam er in 2006 pas uit. En nu zijn ze sinds vorige week officieel gefuseerd met CO en zijn ze de grootste airline.
). Wel zal er in de tussentijd wat kunnen veranderen aan schema's en in te zetten vliegtuigen, er moet tenslotte bezuinigd gaan worden. Maar ik denk dat uiteindelijk het personeel het grootste deel van de rekening gaat betalen.
