AA in the ditch? Horton followed the path of EVERY full service carrier to BK11 - not to mention US auto and steel companies - to level the playing field on costs. When entering BK, they had substantial cash on hand, have been generating positive cash throughout the process. Parker and his financial backers FINALLY figured out how to work the BK process to their advantage, stole AA - along with its pile of cash.
