PNCL and XJT merger?

[planejockey]

Does anyone think this is a good idea?

Who needs 785 50 seaters though?

 

[Raskal]

That's a new one

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

Why? Did management ask your opinion?

 

[Smarta$$]

no......

thats funny talk about something that would never happen. For one, we dont have the money to buy express and i dont know if they could buy us.

 

[snap145]

this will NEVER happen...XJT has much higher labor costs than we do and I cant imagine putting over 200 ERJ's and 160 CRJ's into one fleet would be interesting...not gonna happen any time this century...

 

[MikeSF340]

Hope you're proud of your "lower labor costs."

Is not a merger different than an acquisition/buy out?

But yeah, I don't see XJT having the money to buy ANYTHING. I'm pretty sure that if UAL offered XJT an pay to play offer, they wouldn't have enough in the bank.

As long as we're just throwing out random possibilities:

Airplanes made out of cheese - does anyone think this is a good idea?

Pilot hiring based solely upon break dancing skills - does anyone think this is a good idea?

Square dancing in the crew room - does anyone think this is a good idea?

Sombrero uniform hats - does anyone think this is a good idea?

Actually, it's not. XJT Holdings made a bid on Pinnacle back in 2002 or so.

sachs? um no.

This has to be the most baseless rumor i have heard. Is this even a rumor? It would not make sense whatsoever.

 

[Airscrew]

Sombrero uniform hats - does anyone think this is a good idea?

Yes...

 

[planejockey]

No it's not a rumor I was just thinking about possibilities. The reasoning for me was future contracts that would arise that xjt or pncl by itself could win.
