If management really walked from this deal, there is an alterer motive.
I really do not think that this is over. This was round one.
Nah, I think this may set the tone for awhile. United was looked at in an internal audit and was deemed too much overlap and was thought that the DOJ would veto it. Even if United wanted to divest some assets, local politicians would probably shoot that down.
As far as the NWA potential merger, I liked a few of the potential gains. But, the entitlement shown by the NWA guys hasn't been seen since the USAir Easties. A merger of like sized companies with like histories should be a percentage merger. To think that a new DC9 FO should be lead to believe that he or she should shoot 1000 numbers up the list thanks to the POTENTIAL of some senior pilots MAYBE retiring at age 60 vs 65 is ridiculous. There was NO proof of any of that. The only retirements for certain were DC9s.
Well, they went for the gold, and got a shot of glycol instead. Enjoy the frost boys.....
