I seemed to miss the part about UAL buying an LCC?

God help us if they do , because retirement will come a lot earlier than 65 for me and my fellow pilots.

Reread the article. They make mention of it twice. Says possibly later this year.

I noticed they said there were no more mergers on the horizon. I wonder if they think the AirTran merger with Midwest is dead or insignicant?

There will be no mega mergers of legacy carriers in the near future, an Airtran-Midwest merger is possible because it would represent a relatively small scale merger.
