Jeffrey doesn't subscribe to the fingers crossed school of management.
Sounds like more raj flying to me
raj flying? What is that? RJ flying? Perhaps some, but not all. This is a scope exception that is going to disappear. simply HUGE.

Q: Are you worried about an American Airlines-US Airways merger?
Jeff Smisek: No. I believe airline consolidation both globally and in US is an unalloyed good for airlines and customers. Too long this industry has been fractured and in disarray, with continual bankruptcies and loyalty issues. All of those are concerns.
From United’s perspective, we would lose US Airways in Star Alliance, and that would hurt us. On the positive side, we’d have more consolidation and I personally believe that the benefits would outweigh the cost of
losing US Airways as a partner. After going through a merger myself, though, I can say that I would enjoy watching that.
