JAL is really in a tailspin as reported on GhettoIFE earlier this month.
Well things are going bad to worse with JAL formally requesting Japanese government bailout funds, and the search for a new partner is growing more intensive, with a solution reached by Mid-October.
It's still a contest between Air France-KLM, American Airlines, Delta Airlines
Bleak times ahead for the staff involved with 6800 jobs going, and route cutting a plenty.
Alas with a combination of the rescission and Swine Flu, JAL really has been hit very bad in comparison to some members of OneWorld.
