One way to kill the US/DL takeover.....keep the pensions

Tell you what though. I sure don't want to be left standing out in the rain by ourselves if this merger mania goes down.

Mergers don't always lead to stronger networks. They often fail to provide the returns promised, and cost far more than expected.

If merger mania goes down, staying out of it and watching the self inflicted wounds from the sidelines as a stand alone airline may be the best play. Particularly if a merger also entails an additional $8B in debt just to create a smaller network to be run by an individual who seems incapable of handling the AWA/AAA merger, let alone adding DAL into the mix.

you bet!!

Slightly off topic but more fun to discuss. Any of you PHX guys been to the burger joint in Tempe that sells the triple bypass burger. Waitresses wear nurse uniforms. I vote that if the merger goes through, we meet their to discuss seniority list integration! Can I get an Amen? First round will be on the General.

AMEN BROTHA!!!! Yeah he!! why not kill yourself while enjoying a good burger and hot chicks in a nurse's outfit. I mean c'mon these freakin management teams are giving me serious blood pressure and heart palpitation problems anyhow...:laugh:

"Boy Wonder" is doing a much better job running our place than "Grandpa Jerry" is doing running yours....

Looks like Parker is desperate to find a dance partner.

Not desperate at all. Just a liitle bit more "forward thinking" than most pilots
feel comfortable with,you included.
