I have never seen an airline use a bailout to perform a restructure. At best they wasted the cash on giving an exec a golden parachute.


It is routine procedure, the very purpose of chapter 11 is to protect the company from liabilities and negotiate a new structure where both shareholders and bondholders and employee unions take a haircut in order to salvage the company and its business model.

Company will never recover from chapter11 Unless bondholders, employees, union, all take a haircut and build a new economics(cost structure) for existing business model
