US Airways AMR agree on merger terms

[Dan Roman]

Whaaaaaaaa, we saved two bankrupt major airlines. Whaaaaaaaaa. We really did. No, we did really. Whaaaaaaaaa. Why are you laughing? Whaaaaaaaa.

Somehow I don't think your stance will help you all that much when your SLI is decided.
when you think about it, it seems like everything USAPA has been more about rhetoric and emotion and little about legal reality since it started. This merger may be the only way to put it behind you and move forward.

... now I wonder what the ticker symbol for the new American Airline turn out to be... BIG, SLI, FCK, USA,...
