Dude, you've gotta be friggin kidding me. Please tell me you don't fly for CAL - otherwise your post is about as bass ackwards as they come.
Rooting for mergers? We (@ CAL) just posted 71 million 4th qtr profit, we're still hiring at a good clip, we've got quite a few brand new 737-900ER's rolling in (as well as the 1st US carrier to get the 787...along with NW), and we've got good potential to have an oustanding new contract this year. Merging with a sinking ship like UAL would be the worst thing we could throw on the fire at CAL.
I hope this is seriously just some flame bait.
