So the coming weeks/months will be very nerve racking for us and it was truly heartbreaking what happened yesterday.
I was so proud of AA not having gone into Bankruptcy after Sep. 11, 2001, as so many Airlines had and I was counting on the fact that the 30% - YES 30%!!! cut in pay we all took 8 years ago would help save the company and keep it going. I thought that was the promise we were given so all of this just truly broke my heart and also makes me want to hyperventilate to think we are now faced with more loss in income but also Insurance Coverage but most importantly Ron's Retirement. Without that we are going to be in serious trouble.
Now I know AA will pull through this Bankruptcy just fine in regards to all it's customers. They still have some money and are in better shape as the other carriers were when they went in. I also know to be competitive it will help AA to slim down but it is a hard pill to swallow if you gave your professional life to them and now realize it did not mean much at all.
On to better things here, we are having a wonderful time with Niki and Harlow who are visiting us, and it has been very precious all around. The boys adore Harlow and we had a fun trip to see Santa at the North Pole.
Tomorrow I am heading to Dallas to pick up Oma and Opa and we are going to be ready set and go for our Christmas Season to start :)
Hugs tonight to all our AA friends! We survived 9/11 and a 30% pay cut and let's hope we can survive this one with out to much more sacrifice...
