Now we have a real net profit for American Airlines in May of $65 million.  It is something to crow about and it is worth celebrating at American Airlines.

Let’s take a moment and let them enjoy that truly good news.

Since this announcement was made and since I’ve read Tom Horton’s comments on this profit and expectations for the 2nd quarter (a profit for the 2nd quarter is expected), I have had a very odd, uneasy feeling.

Would it be tempting for someone to sabotage this merger in the hopes of running the airline as a standalone?
