John Hotard Line Quotations

We have said all along that anyone is free to bid. We feel American Airlines has the best bid because it preserves almost all of the jobs, and more importantly, offers a major worldwide network into which we can integrate TWA, which we feel is much better than an offer that would try to operate it as a single small carrier.

The bottom line is, it has basically disrupted or stopped the traffic flowing from Latin America into North America. Miami is a major point, and this is a major disruption.
