Politics In The American Airlines-U.S. Airways Merger And Antitrust Settlement, Michelle Chan
Politics In The American Airlines-U.S. Airways Merger And Antitrust Settlement, Michelle Chan
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
American Airlines was one of the airline industry’s darlings. A legacy airline, it was a household name, a massive entity, employed thousands, and commanded a fearsome presence among other industry players like unions and airport terminals. However, with ballooning costs and the red ocean airline industry’s evolution, American Airlines’ parent company, AMR, was forced into bankruptcy in November 2011. To emerge from Chapter 11, American Airlines and U.S. Airways announced plans to merge and come out a stronger, larger airline in February 2013.

What We “Know” About Chapter 11 Cost Is Wrong, Stephen J. Lubben
What We “Know” About Chapter 11 Cost Is Wrong, Stephen J. Lubben

Who Is At The Table? Interpreting Disclosure Requirements For Ad Hoc Groups Of Institutional Investors Under Federal Rule Of Bankruptcy Procedure 2019, James M. Shea, Jr.
Fordham Law Review
This Note explores Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 2019's disclosure requirements when hedge funds and other institutional investors appear as groups in Chapter 11 cases. In particular, this Note traces the history of Rule 2019 and the various corporate reorganization mechanisms to explain the split between two bankruptcy courts on whether these groups constitute “committees” under Rule 2019. This Note cites the fundamental differences between these groups and protective committees--the committees charged with representing security holders under federal equity receiverships. Hence, ad hoc groups do not have to make detailed disclosures of each individual transaction, disclosure that would be required …
