So, why not get this started since it's pretty likely gonna happen.

Lets see what everyone is thinking...

CAL leverage:
-Large growth (over 100 a/c on order)
-Firm orders on 737NGs and 787s
-2.5 yr Capt's
-1700 new employees in last 3 years
-Better mgt
-Better position standalone than United would be
-Better "current" pay
-Higher retirement B-scale
-Very old pilot group
-better Latin routes
-All Boeing fleet (Kellner might try to get rid of airbus-ii)
-Less debt

UAL leverage:
-Much bigger company
-More cash on hand
-more widebodies (~120 vs ~60 on property)
-much better domiciles (from most peoples' standpoint)
-747s on property
-better pacific routes

What are some other leverage points?

What do you think an SLI opener for either company would be?
