Upon emerging from Ch 11, AA's labor costs are pretty well known for six years (until Sept 2018). Over at US, on the other hand, there's lots of labor cost uncertainty. I have to agree with Horton and the UCC members who think that LCC shareholders should pay the price for that uncertainty and that AMR creditors should be compensated for that risk with a much larger equity stake than the LCC shareholders.
