Of course government will charge interest, maybe 4-5%? Government on the other hand provide SME with SRF with 3.75%, now with this covid-19 airline company also need help, this is not mismanagement by AA, more like macro environment which out of their control.
You got half a point la but AA mismanagement stinks like hell....
How did AA got so big? Borrow, buy planes, use cash flow to pay finance cost and then borrow again.... They used debts to build the company up.
They kept on buying new planes, they kept on borrowing .....
A well managed company would know this, right?
A well managed company would know that they cannot be so greedy and borrow and buy new planes like peanuts, right?
So today. What's their problem?
Have they buy too many airplanes? Yes, yes, yes! Look at the back order for new planes! It's over 110 Billion la.
AA is committed to buy 110 Billion worth of new airplanes.
Why did AA got so greedy buying new planes?
Aha.... I puked here...
Cos I start to recall the USD50million bribery paid by Airbus.
What if that's part of the reason why AA placed such a huge order of over 200 new planes in 2012 (when their existing order of planes were already over 100 planes (pls check exact figures)) ??
Look at it the company now....
whose fault?
Covid 19 only exposed AA to the world that it was swimming naked la... ie... it showed everyone that it's such a badly managed company.
If they were well managed, the money from the sale and leaseback of their planes, would solved all problems, no?
Instead, we know what happened to those money....
Let this company fail laaaa.... cannot meh?
