No, but Oscar did comment at length on the pending FA merge. He started by saying he just has to chuckle every time he hears people claim that somehow he or any other manager has actively been trying to delay the merge. He pointed out that not only is it holding back improved culture, it is costing the company horribly, and it is the one issue he is constantly agonizing over and wanted to get done as fast as possible, but that technology has been the hold up. That segued into a nice discussion of technology where he brought up the fact that he hired a new firm of "young disruptors" and gave them free reign to try to make United the leader in technological innovation both for our customers and our employees to wit all the mechanics are now getting iPads and while we were there we got to talk to a couple of the tech "kids" and they were showing us some of the innovations they are working on to make our iPad's a more useful tool.
