Merger, acquisition, or a simple takeover??? Who is funding it CommutAir, United or the third party? Will united sell its stake if merged or acquired with a publicly held company? Will united allow for CommutAir to be taken over? CommutAir air is just the puppet at his point and United is the puppet master not much talk in wall street of a scenario taking place in the near futur as this would require some of the larger regional partners to give control.
