United and Delta...

[Noserider76]

Yeah, but mission accomplished for the hedge fund guys. The stocks rallied on the unsubstantiated rumor and the hedge fund managers made millions.

Hopefully the Feds launch an investigation on Mr. Samii and the tools at Pardus Capital. Maybe they can gin up a securities fraud charge or two.

yawn.
Even if they were to merge, those on property would probably remain. It would take years to merge companies. Even with the minimal retirements, if any were furloughed it would only be for a little bit. It is the chance we all take.

Yo Sonny,

At least you'll be able to bid the Mad Dog once again! Unfortunately, it does not lay over in LBB.

Good luck, hope this ain't coming true.

I guess you don't understand ALPA or any carrier that belongs to ALPA. There would never be a staple between two ALPA carriers. Please read more about pilot unions before making silly comments like the above. You need to stick to serving peanuts.

You're right. Alpa would merge two seniority lists where everyone is happy. Kind of like the America West and USair situation right?

Yup, got the TYPE and even good ol' DELTA trained me! Maybe a MCO base?

Who said everyone would be happy? I guess you too don't understand the ALPA merger policy between two ALPA carriers. Is there ever a Staple of whole pilot groups when two like sized ALPA carriers merge? Go back to LBB.

Bye Bye--General Lee

It appears that this one (UAL and DL) is not coming true (denials on CNBC and Press Releases are pretty good evidence), but another merger could be in the works if it adds value to our company. Some Hedge Fund companies want something else, and it is pretty obvious.

Bye Bye--General Lee

Both DAL and NWA said they had not made a decision to file BK the day before they filed.

Alpa did such a fine job with their "policy," that the MEC chair and many others were named in a lawsuit. Fine job Alpa! Those folks got their 1.85%worth.
I am fairly certain I understand their "policy." How many years have you served on an executive board or been to the BOD? Okee-dokee then. I am fairly certain I trumped ya.
Alpa has long outlasted it's usefulness. It now is a crutch for folks like you General.
I wish I had another LBB overnight this weekend. A couple weekends I harvested 12 dove and 4 quail and ate at Cagle's Steaks. Thanks for caring!

As sad as it is to say, you're right, but partially. I think ALPA leadership has outlasted its usefulness!
Strike one was welcoming back the scabs from continental with hugs and kisses!
Strike two was taking a poll (on age 65) and deciding, that after the membership majority wanted status quo, to change their stance and support age 65!

ALPA still has wonderful resources, like aeromedical, and safety, but its leadership has done whats best for its leadership!
