Sell the EAST and WEST

[critterair2]

Whats the chances Parker divides up USAir, sends the east to UAL, combine the West with Jet Blue or Spirit, TPG has old ties to the west. Just a thought

No chance on the West going to JB or Spirit.

Why JB or Spirit, why not Continental?

I heard Mesa is going to buy the West.

I have heard this rumor myself. UAL takes East while West and JB combine - that's the theory anyway. I heard that Parker spent some time recently talking with JB's management. Again, just a rumor. I have no idea why East would be better for UAL and how aircraft fleets would eventually be allocated, etc. THIS IS JUST A HUGE RUMOR WITH A LOT OF QUESTION MARKS at this point. Who knows what strategy (or strategery) is being hatched...

You mean that Mesa will buy Mesa Grande?

I heard Mesa is going to buy the West.

With what, monopoly money? Seen their stock price lately?

Wasn't that Macho Grande? "Oh, I'll never be over Macho Grande."

Why would they keep the East? European routes? UAL has plenty of those. UAL is already in DC, U at Regan and UAL doesn't want to compete with Southwest at the other USair East hubs. I think UAL would cherry pick the East for a few A330 routes then dump the rest and stay with the West.
