The only thing keeping airline stocks afloat is merger rumours?

US Airways to buy United 1st quarter.

I thought US Airways was going to buy SWA, liquidate it, and use the $$$ to pay off debt and/or buy somebody? After all, SWA appears to be worth more in parts than whole--all that cash and those owned aircraft are worth big $$$.

So I guess this rumor makes perfect sense.

US Airways Plan:

1. Liquidate SWA
2. Buy United

Of course, I could be wrong or just trolling on the internet. Go figure.

That's funny...I keep hearing:

Continental to buy United 1st quarter or

United to buy Continental 1st quarter

Ya know this joke has been pushed way past its recommended mileage... US Airways and United is like the Titanic being rescued by the Lusitania.

This is so interesting that I'll go dump breakfast now.....

The well has been poisoned by the east pilots at Airways. Not going to happen.

USAir is in no position to buy anybody!!!...Deferral of 54 aircraft, piss poor labor relations, and cash dwindling down to it's minimum allowable by the finaciers.

Nope, just a pipe dream. Besides, if anybody hates USAir equal to or more than the WEST, it's UNITED!!

Cheers..........bb

Republic Holdings and Rev. Bedford will take over the PHX hub and pilot group. This will give Republic a true footprint as a big airline.

West pilots will be happy, because they will finally rid themselves of the East and merge with a young motivated pilot group with quick upgrades. Not like the Easties that are ready to retire and do not give a hoot about flying anymore.
Good luck Westies and good riddance

Too wide of a flamebait target. Suggest decrease in range. Over.

 

[NuGuy]

Heyas,

Actually, AMR to purchase UALs Pacific ops. The rest will go to USAir.

No, but count on the announcement coming very shortly after the new DAL posts a profit. Tilton and Smisek will both throw their arms in the air panicking that they cannot make money with this new competition.

You heard it here first.....

Confirmed. It's a done deal.

 

[jumppilot]

Heard it too. Airways canceled deferred their Airbus deliveries because United could get better financing.

Heard it too. Airways canceled deferred their Airbus deliveries because United could get better financing.

Really? I heard the rumor was USAir was buying NASA because they could get better financing on lightly used Space Shuttles.

 

[Metro752]

I heard Mesa was going to buy out United and staple all the pilots.
