RE: Is American Still Thinking Of Buying The 787?

AA will get the 787, but a much more substantial issue than the bankruptcy is the fact that they don't have anyone to fly them under their current pilots contract. Given the tenuous relationship with their unions right now, I don't think they're going to say much about the 787 for the time being.
