Pre-merger, UAL pilots were literally begging to join with CAL. Not once did I ever hear a pax or employee hope that we merged with UAL. The common belief was UAL would soon liquidate and then all the legacies would pick up the pieces. (Of course, I'm expecting you to deny any of this since all that seems to count in many LUAL pilots' eyes, particularly your merger committee and former employee mR. Eichen, is the ONE year that you all actually made a profit in the last TEN plus!)

You are either flame baiting or completely delusional...
Mitch. In April of 2010 UAL and US were about to sign a deal. Smisek jumped in and stopped it ( remember that the ugly girl / pretty girl bit?). Why? If your business plan was so solid, why did he jump in? If UAL was to liquidate as you say, why would he have cared about it?
