This genius made $3.6M last year... Wow... He's way underpaid now that I've seen his amazing knowledge
 
Looks like the ugly chick at the prom is getting frustrated.
 
If USAir and American were to merge ...... that would be interesting to watch from the perspective of simple, grim fascintation. Man would that be fugly, I will believe that one when I see it. I don't see USAir making it intact simply due to the intractable complications extant on the property. I see them getting parted out at some point down the road. As for American's future, that will be interesting to see as well.
 
AA management is too constipated and indecisive to take on any merger at this point. Plus they have 3 major labor contracts being negotiated, all of which they've been stalling for years.

And you're right, it would be fugly. The only guy stupid enough to try and take on a US Airways merger would be Don Carty, Mr. Airline Wrecker himself, and he's gone, thank goodness.
 
I don't think Kirby realizes that USAirways is irrelevant now. He will have no say in who does or doesn't merge with them. They bring nothing that couldn't be bought at auction.
 
When UAL dumped them for CAL Parker said consolidation in the industry would be good for LCC. The fact is UAL used LCC to get CAL to the table and now Parker/Kirby are left red-faced. The have no say over their future and no one in their right mind would merge with them.
 
Kirby thinks he's selling a rare collectors edition sports car or something, when everyone knows he's standing in that sad looking used car lot polishing a turd like a Pacer with a cheap over spray paint job at best. http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1658545_1658533_1658042,00.html Two pilot groups still flinging poop at one another over the Continental divide and a bunch of employee's that have no faith in their management. Oh boy that sounds real appetizing, I don't think I really want a second helping of america's most dysfunctional airline.
