Who's smoking the unicorn horn now?
No unicorn, and it wasn't 2 years . . . it was right in the middle of the negotiations for the merger.
I honestly look forward to the day when all this is behind us and folks can stop being angry with each other over outcomes that they can't possibly change, BUT the 737 fleet went away in the fall of '09, roughly 6 months before the merger was announced. Do you honestly not believe that when one side in an airline merger discussion decides to park an entire fleet that that wasn't discussed during the merger talks?
