But what do you expect from someone who wears a little yellow helmet on his way to his job taking tickets at the zoo.

now that is not entirely true..

here is the chain of posts..

I hi-lighted the important parts since you did not get past "think what you want to think.".

I have also in many of my post said AA had other problems such as fuel, competing in markets with low cost airlines, old equipment (airplanes) and bad airport contracts..

But the major reason stated by the courts when they were granted bankruptcy was high labor costs since IIRC they are the second major expense on the ledger sheet NOW since fuel took over the top spot a few years ago..

So good try in not quoting me properly.. but anyone reading my posts with Jetmeck can plainly see that I have stated facts about AA and backed them up with quotes from actual financial periodicals or newspapers.. in some cases Reuters news agency..

so night night I have wasted enough time on this as it is..

Clearly you or Jetmeck are not rational about AA in bankruptcy..
