JAL: No more bailouts... but we'll consider extending a loan..

When is a bailout not a bailout? When it has something to do with JAL it seems.

Whilst the Japanese Government has promised no new loans to it, it has however promised to extend previous loans from 1 Billion Yen to 2 Billion Yen.

Thats a lot of yen!

This still doesn't solve the long term problems with JAL (least of all the 1.5 TRILLON Yen Debt Pile - and growing), but it might tide it over until it can decide to go with American or Delta.

In the short term however - if nothing comes to past and there are no rapid improvements - JAL could well find itself off to Bankruptcy protection land...
