East/West split up

[$$$4nothin]

I heard an interesting rumor from an Easty in my JS a couple of days ago. Apparently a group of investor types includeing Waren Buffet are working on trying to figure out how to split Airways back into East and West. This is being done to for two reasons. One is to make the companies profitable and viable again. The other is the East would then be merged with Alaska. The West would then be merged with JB. This was just a rumor of course and we all know how rediculous this process would be. However a JB and West merger would actually make a little sense regarding route structure, fleet type, orders, etc.

Buffet is way to smart to get into anything airline. He makes money, remember?

You might check to see how NetJets (a Berkshire Hathaway Company) has fared in the last few years...

Easties are repeating wet-dreams about a split-up all the time. This is one subject Doug Parker can be believed with: the new US Airways will be merged whole or not at all. Despite the separate union contracts it's still one airline.

The east has valuable hubs in CLT PHL and especially DCA. BH knows this and Kirby even said in the last crew news that USAir would have been out of cash in '09 if they hadn't borrowed money becausevPHX and LAS are such drains on our system. They almost brought the company down. Now, a west fire sale to jetBlue makes since and the AWA pilots woul love to put their furloughed pilots with six years DOH behind JB new hires!

Youall is danged crazy as my uncle fesuts an cuzin Carl Childers...

Da East n West aint a gonna split up it's the North and South a gonna call it a split. Charlotte has about had it with them Yankees. Ever since they done closed LGA and BOS an PIT they all done come down here.

What da hell I am a gonna do on my airplane with some guy who "parks his car in the yaad" and sez "there isn't any good chowder dawn hehr". What da hell is that kinda talk?

When you tries to talk NASCAR wit em there eyze done glaze over. They thinks they knows about football but they don't, the NewYorkers talk bout "Shelppen" their luggage and how you can't get good Chinese or I-talian.

This here is the south boys an we eats Grits, fired anything, collard greens ocra, an barbecue whatever.

We are gonna letl dem Westies in ifin they takes an oath to act Southern like. They gotta have a favorite NASCAR driver, lots a guns and fishing gear, a pickup truck, a dog or two (more is better), an they gotta like rastlin, football, an the huntin an fishin channel. We gives extra points if they gots a bass board or an RTV.

If they are cool I might even let date my sister... er cousin..er relative whatever....

Umm...you might want read a little history of Warren Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway....Buffet has said his two biggest mistakes he has ever made were taking an active management position in a company he invested in and the second was investing in an airline.

I don't believe this rumor for a second, but I would donate half my yearly wages to the reelection campaign of Nancy Pelosi if it were true, just to see the look on Fudgepackers face when it was announced.....

DOH!!! DOH!!! It's the only fair way!! Bwhahahhahahahah (gulping for air) Bwahhahahhahhhh!!!!
