At the same time the airline thinks this merger which can either be a combination or even if it emerges with a new name the company will be rocking in its business.
\nUsually in case of bankruptcy creditors expect the claims to be paid in cash rather than in stock. whereas AMR creditors chose to be an all stock deal which shows that they are accepting for the merger proposal and expect that this merger can earn them potential profits and provide the world number one service.
\nOn the other hand US Airways before formal declaration of the all stock merger waiting for the AMR creditors\u2019 committee\u2019s decision to inform the payment mode.
