The wrong meme

News from The Associated Press

American [Airlines] says labor-contract rules force it to spend at least $600 million more than other airlines. That's partly a result of AMR avoiding bankruptcy last decade, while airlines like United and Delta were able to scrap existing labor contracts after filing Chapter 11.

American blames high labor cost when it should be blaming the other air lines for paying sub-standard wages.
