At the risk of getting totally flamed, I simply am asking for my own educational purposes.
Delta, United, and other airlines (and now American) have all gone into Chapter 11 to fix a myriad of financial issues (I am NOT supporting it or opposing it).
I would like to know the pros and cons strictly from the business side (I am very well aware of potential employee pain).
Pros and Cons regarding:
1) equipment
2) unsecured debt
3) routes
4) restructuring
5) expansion
6) contraction
7) onboard service changes
Again, I realize some cannot help but hurl insults and pout and pontificate. That's fine. It's a free country (well, maybe not as much as it once was). More importantly, I hope some of the more knowledgable experts on here regarding the financial status of Amtrak could shed some light.
Thanks in advance for the well thought out/mature responses.
