RP buys Comair

[AirBill]

The only downside is the seniority merger, which would be ugly, but only because we'd fight tooth and nail to prevent from being screwed.

So would we, pal. So would we. :uzi:

Preventing us from being screwed does not mean we're out to screw you. Last time this rumor came up, you saw the word "staple" more than you did "merger"

BVT,

1st off, this is a premature rumor. Nothing will be done until the Comair F/A's finish their court dates.
Mesa is more likely to be your Daddy than RP. Although the reduction in MCO and the HUGE increase in CVG is suspicious to all involved.

I think you are forgetting the BIG picture. The rumor is you are being BOUGHT. This is not a merger.
Using the Shuttle integration as a model (and we liked those guys), it doesn't fair well for you guys, senior or not.
You are correct on one thing, if it happens, it will be UGLY.


Just for the record, the CHQ MEC/MESA & Comair met last week for a meeting of the minds. (ASA might have been there as well)

Slow down there, preacher-man. Someone asked why I thought it would be good for Comair, and I replied. There's always someone who thinks they can be the voice of reason, but doesn't read the entire thread.

I still think this rumor is hogwash, but it doesn't stop the discussion.
I'd look more towards the future America-West/USAirways integration than the pitiful SA/CHQ integration, if "integration" is what you'd call it. This time you won't be able to simply push over a pilot group that's larger than you.

As for the meeting of minds, what exactly did they do besides agree to meet again? There's an entire thread on that meeting and how it has once again accomplished nothing. No relation to this rumor.

getting kinda late in the day...............

 

[SXMp2c]

Dont worry drizz.. BB likes to make these press releases after the close of business.

 

[BoilerUP]

Don't think its gonna happen...RAH is leveraged enough as it is, can their balance sheet really afford more debt in buying Comair? What price would Delta charge (I'd bet a helluva lot less than the 01 strike cost...)

Still nothing on Yahoo Finance...

 

[The Drizzle]

....yawn....

 

[RAV152]

Nothing to this.

 

[Dr.Hwang]

Is this for real?...or just rumor.

I think they decided to give each other a reach around next time there is screwing going on. Hopefully the deciding not to lower the bar on one another as advertised.

"...So if this is not actually "announced today", I vote for the original poster of this thread to be tied to a post in the town square, so that anybody who wishes to can stop by and kick him in the junk."

OK ... it's after 6pm. Nothing on Yahoo. Let's get the rope and string this buzzard up.

 

[theskyking]

Maybe he meant 6pm in Hawaii or Guam.

 

[BODENE]

It has to be rumor, look at the market today. There was no fluctuation with either company and the analysts have not made any predictions. If this was the case, RP would have to had made a proposal with the BK court and that would be public. Nothing there as well.... I believe this is all hype....

 

[sleddriver77]

Ill take you up on that offer Sled. Which town would you like to be tied up in?

As for sources, check out Yahoo news at about 6 o' clock this evening.

Well, it's 1930 here in Indy, and... a whole lotta nada.

Downtown Indy'll do just fine. How 'bout right in the Circle? Up against the post, Princess!! :smash:

 

[Peter Brady]

Who is RP?

WHO...IS....RP???

Would it kill anyone to spell it out?

 

[OPECJet]

Repubic.

I cant believe you guys bought this flaming pile of crap.
