I smell a US lawsuit against UNITED much like ALOHA sued GO.....

A law suit saying that the merger was not in the best interest to move forward on?.....let me guess, you did NOT go to law school.

My guess is that UAL never wanted USAir but was/is using them as a tool to lure CAL back to the table. Once the UAL/USAir talks were announced there was alot of press about CAL being left out of the dance without a partner. Since CAL had no interest in UAL at the time, CAL had a quick change of heart and was back into merger negotiations with UAL. I think it is a shrewd but brilliant move for UAL to get what they wanted all along and that is a merger with CAL. Now, will that ever happen? Only time will tell.

Can hardly blame UAL, with all the well documented problems at LCC.

Now when CAL sends UAL packing, UAL will be in a world of hurt.

If UAL/CAL happens, its all over but the crying for US Airways.
