Interesting... to say the least. There are still a lot of ingrediants in this soup that haven't been fully discovered.
One thing is for certain... all three groups must stay galvanized.

What He Said.....
It might sting a little, but considering all options, it could be much worse... and excruciating if we bicker amongst ourselves. Let's minimize the "sting" collectively or all suffer the "rash" of consequences....

PCL was approached/selected by DAL to purchase XJ... they even provided the financing to make it happen.
DAL and UAL are heavy portfolios for Skywest. Both UAL and DAL watched Republic grow to a size where they purchased Frontier and operate it in Den in UAL's own hub as a competitor. UAL...
There are certainly lessons learned from Mergers Past... USair is pure Cancer while DAL merger went significantly better.
I can say that everybody I have spoken to at Colgan wants to "leapfrog" over anyone else... quite the opposite.
With the growth plans in place for Q's...above the...
Just my humble opinion, ok... say it is in the Billions.... so what. All the new CAL/UAL needs to state is that they are going to cancel the existing contracts at certain carriers at the end of their term...... like Republic, Shuttle, etc... watch that stock price fall.... An then at the same...
Anything more then a Beech 1900 belongs in mainline....
Geesh...some people kids...:rolleyes:
I would rather sit in my T-Prop then watch another -900 taxi by with an Spikey hair with frosted tips, iPod wearing, back pack tote'n, epulets on backward, jive talk'n, mommy and daddy pay for...
It is a fact!
There is more brains and skill in the pilot group then in management. Mgt specializes in one thing....
We as crew are the Jack of all Trades.... we Manage Capital (Fuel), Market infleunces (approaching storms), Passenger issues (Public Relations), Solve "internal"...
I'll float this idea....
UAL, DAL and USair are all going to be looking for ways to eliminate Republic as a fee for Departure carrier, they are not going to keep funding a competitor through Shuttle, CHQ... only to ultimatly fund Frontier.
With the Anti-trust issues posed, the route...
True...
Also, more focused and targeted approach to some of the enept managment is needed. Starting with M. H. in Crew Scheduling. He consistantly builds lines that are of poor productivity, with min days off, and then loads an enormous amount of open time into the system.... causing huge...
What about this idea....
UAL and LCC are going to have some... but less anti-trust issues as their relitive sizes are smaller then in previous merger talks as seen in the past circa 90's '05 and '08. Post merger there will be a need to shed some routes and overlapping structures....i.e. (job...
Wow... 38 Million dollar tax return...
Way to go Trenary... it is quite obvious now... hide $38 Million in a fund, and Lable it "Taxes". Nothing like hiding money while in contract negotiations.... I'll bet you had no idea the TA was gonna fail....
It's not like we don't expect games like...
Tilton, Smisek and Parker are all money hungry.....
Finger this out...
Tilton and Parker do the dance long enough to drag in CAL (Smisek) and AMR...
CAL just switched from Delta's "SkyTeam" to UAL's Star Alliance, and in the process is seeking scope relief for Rj's Greater then 50 seats...
Ok guys...
I am sure you all know, Managment took down the Crew Board. Looks like Managment is serious about not having a forum to discuss items... and has taken steps and shown determination to not take this pilot group and its concerns seriously as well.
In fact, in spite of all the Jr...
The writing is on the wall... no code share airline like UAL, DAL or anayone in the future is going to pay a gauranteed profit via the Fee For Deptarture contracts and have the money ultimately fund a direct competitor.
Example:
F9 and UAL both leave IND bound for DEN.... the F9 Flight...
