Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is The delay created an unnecessary amount of uncertainty for all stakeholders to the process including investors, creditors, workers, suppliers, and communities. The uncertainty disrupted the ability of these stakeholders to plan for the eventual exit of American from Chapter 11. By threatening the merger, it disrupted the ability of American and US Airways to develop plans for the eventual integration of the two airlines. History shows that the complexity of airline integration makes such planning critical to the successful combination of the businesses. Ineffective post-closing integration creates passenger angst, reduces employee morale, and disrupts supply and creditor agreements.
