Questions 155~158 refer to the following article.
RIVERSTAR CEO HAS BAD NEWS FOR EMPLOYEES RiverStar's transformation plan, which includes cutting annual costs by $5 billion by the end of next year, is not enough to save the struggling airline, its CEO said in a memo to employees. CEO Geraid White said in a Tuesday memo that was published by the Atlanta Herald yesterday that the nation's third-largest airlines is still working hard to avoid a bankrupty filing, but he reiterated that there aer risks affecting RiverStar's ability to do that. White, citing the burden of interest expense on the company's massive debt, said RiverStar plans to expand its efforts to cut costs, improve efficiency, and raise cash. "Given our financial situation, there is renewed speculation about bankrupty," While told employees. "We have been candid about the risk that a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, will affect our ability to avoid filing for bankrupty. However, we are still working to pursue a solution, even as we face increasing financial pressures. Airline analyst Ray Nestor said White's comments in the memo and during a conference call with investors last week suggest that RiverStar is preparing people for the worst "The Market is becoming more doubtful of RiverStar's chances of avoiding bankrupty," said Nestor "And so am I".
