I can name several but I'll name a few: Chrysler, UAL and my beloved K-Mart stock ---- as companies that were forced into BK and survived to fight another day on the flipside. Certainly, I would prefer to see EK 'not' file ---- but, it's NOT the end of the world.
Further, as Bob Lorsch already spoke to during the last C/C --- we are already working with (pitching to) other vendors outside of EK. It's duly noted in the C/C summary ---- thanks to Tulaz!
