My sources say April 25th is the announcement... No Joke. We'll see how good my sources are.

The sad thing is they would fare a lot better in a merger if they were ALPA rather than usapa.

Now that they a seperate union, LCC will have the allegheny mohawk protections and won't be a slave to the ALPA merger policy.

No offense to Grog, but run away United. I'd make management think twice about getting them into that mess.

There is always the possibility that UAL/CO may be too big for regulatory approval and they're looking to offload a bit as part of their deal.

AWA was a great airline. USAir wrecked that. I too would feel bad for United, but money talks.

Somethings up for sure, my sources say we'll know next week.

The thing United has going for it is its size. If they get a unified employee group against any deal they don't like, it's got a good chance of not happening.

No offense but, AWA was not a great airline.

US Air "wrecked" that? Remember that nobody held a gun to Doug Parker's head to make this happen.

Once US Air mgmt told Dougie that they had secured the $$ to make this merger happen....Doug said "OK"

The CAL ALPA MEC has scheduled a special MEC meeting for the 24th to get a briefing from CAL execs as to what they are planning.

Coincedence?
