QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 04:59 AM) As I understand it, after Oct. 17 (when the new laws go into effect), the bankruptcy trustees can force executives and officers to take pay cuts. So that's a fairly large incentive to declare now. Also, I think Northwest had some large debt and pension payments due this week. It does, but most corporate officers of a company in bankruptcy take pay cuts anyway. That's nothing new. The law now forces it, but like I said, it happens anyway. The timing of this was more aligned to when large debt payments were due, and they were only a day or two away from defaulting.

Wow. That's huge. It means that TWX has decided that "old school media" and bringing up that part of the business is more lucrative. And my stock options should go up.

In March, we would have all been cheering our asses off to be in the position we are in. We're on top, yes starting to look back, but it's better then Cleveland's position, IMO. We have to have faith... even if the possibility exists that we don't make it.

I should bust out my industry report. I think I said this four years ago (BEFORE 9/11). But then again, writing that wasn't rocket science. Putting together solutions was though. It's one of the reasons we got out of bankruptcy.

Guys and gals, It has been a rough night, and for the most part I applaud you all for not delving into "attack mode". PLEASE, before you post the rest of tonight and let the heat of the moment get you, think about what it is you're posting before you submit it. Thanks for the courtesy. Kap

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) So, uh, what does that mean for Northwest? They will continue to operate in what's called a "debtor in possession" status... meaning, their creditors "own" the airline while it's in bankruptcy. The hardest part about going into bankruptcy is obtaining debtor in possession funding from banks. winodj is partially right - and to flyers, it's business as normal, at least in the short term. A word of advice, use your miles, and quickly. MOST OF THE TIME, they won't touch the miles programs, but do realize that this is a liability to the company, and they can cut the frequent flier miles right out and that's that.

QUOTE(winodj @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:45 AM) Nothing. At least right now. It's smart for them to do it NOW, before the bankruptcy laws change. The bankruptcy laws are not changing for corporations, at least not drastically. INDIVIDUAL bamkruptcy is changing drastically.

My concern on this matter can be measured in micro-give-a-s***s. I think I've said that before about a topic or two.

Wow. The nation's second, third and fourth largest airlines are now in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Add ATA and USAirways, you have quite a large chunk of the industry in bankruptcy protection now. I'll tell you from personal experience it's a b**** to get out of bankruptcy as an airline. We did it where I used to work, and it's one of the few true "success stories" of an airline making it out of chapter 11. I worked with many high profile industry analysts during the bankruptcy, and we knew then that this day would come. I also assisted in completing a large part of the "go-forward plan" out of bankruptcy, and in studying the airline industry in depth, there's a lot more problems then high fuel prices, although that's a large part of what they'll blame it on. Should be an interesting few months as we watch the airlines go through their processes.

Damn, this thread took an ugly turn...

Rick Nash of the Columbus Blue Jackets hit the boards feet first this morning in practice and had to be carried off the ice. They're not sure yet of the extent of the injuries, but it sounds like it could be bad. I hope he's ok. Those injuries are NOT pleasant.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 11:44 PM) Saying something isn't as good as 24 isn't saying much. Almost nothing comes close to 24. It's like saying "well, he'd make a better president than Bush." (Note...if you are a Republican reading this message, please replace the word "Bush" with the word "Clinton". Thank you, and have a nice day) LOL Good disclaimer. Personally I like House. That show rocks.

This thread is pretty IGNORANT (word chosen for effect).

LMAO! Great coordinated effort to joining the 10,000 post club. Congrats to both of you. SLACKERS!

QUOTE(Rich McKinney @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 06:34 AM) Aww..did ya get your feelings hurt a bit with my post? Those crowds this past week were AWFUL! I was around during the 1977 season and those were fans! I'm not ripping you guys or Sox fans in general. I'm ripping the city for not supporting such a good team! This club deserves 30,000 each night for what they've accomplished this season. Even the players admitted that they've come out flat because of the enormous amount of blue seats visible to them. By the way, I could handle any "four-letter" words you could throw out, either on here or in person. So, let 'em fly. I'm gonna step in here and say: Rich, don't encourage people to attack you. It's not warranted. Everything's cool, but I'd ask that you refrain from escalating things. Kap

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 05:19 AM) Is that Subservient Chicken in your Av, Kap?" If so, I'm simultaneously impressed and very very worried. Maybe. I used it on another board, because someone was being a chicken s*** and I was mocking them. Then I thought, gee, I should use it on soxtalk too.

Personally I would like to see Cleveland and us in the playoffs... and Boston and LAA. Although, playing ANY team out west first scares the s*** out of me... especially after this weekend.
