UAL and CAL

[800Dog]

It looks like we may see a CAL/UAL merger and a NWA/DAL merger. This has been talked about and leaked in press releases over and over. You can bet that if CAL and UAL do announce a merger, DAL and NWA will quickly do the same.

As for a CAL/UAL merger, I would think that the MEC's would agree to a DOH up to a certain point. After that point, all old furlougees from UAL and new furloughees (caused from a merger) from CAL should be one for one with all furloughees having priority unless it is a UAL/CAL merger. Then that would be a different story.

This industry is going to be interesting a the least over the next two to three years. Can we all say paradigm? Hang on to your hats!

NWA/Delta would be terrible in terms of their fleets. If that did happen, what would happen to the non-union Delta employees in terms of integration?

I wouldn't worry about this at all. NWA still owns the "golden share" of CAL, and can veto any corporate transaction that isn't in NWAs best interest.

Actually, from the CALFORUMS board, CAL management has been in talks with NWA to secure the "last" share per the EWR CPO.
