I really don't think Cal wants to merge. However, when Bethune was at CAL...(yes, I realize he is gone), he made no bones about what a good fit the Chicago hub and Heathrow slots would make. When asked about the other stuff at UAL....he said he would $h..can it. I don't think that idea has left Cal management. I think it's possible UAL gets split in a bidding war. Cal's 10Q is not a good as they would like.....but they still have a good amount of cash....can raise capital at reasonable rates, and are still taking new aircraft.
It's all pure speculation. However...if you really want to know how it's going to shake out....ask Tank...the airbus driver out of EWR.....he knows the date, what survives....what doesn't.....and how the seniority list turns out. And yes....he happy where he ends up. LOL
