The airline expanded too fast, even adding a 747 to its fleet for $99 flights to Brussels, and was eventually merged with Continental under its rapacious Chairman Frank Lorenzo, later banished from the industry by the Department of Transportation. There were any number of smaller, regional airlines that merged or just folded their wings, including Mohawk, Northeast, Southeast, Midway, L’Express, Independence Air, Air California, PSA and a personal favorite, Midwest Express, started by the Kimberly Clark paper company to shuttle employees between its mills and headquarters in Milwaukee. Midwest flew DC-9s, usually fitted with coach seats in a 2-and-3 configuration, but equipped instead with business-class 2-and-2 leather seats.

Throughout the case, several events that endangered the existence of US Airways are brought into light. These events serve as basis to introduce the value of leverage and financial distress costs. Moreover, the case reflects on the decision between out-of-court restructuring and chapter 11, while assessing distressed mergers and acquisitions. Finally, the potential merger is analyzed and the proposed solution is that new equity should be split 69-31 per cent between American Airlines’ unsecured creditors and shareholders, and US Airways’ shareholders.
