That’s correct. The 8k filing is very Specific:
“
The Company is not in negotiations or discussions with any other airline regarding a merger, acquisition or similar strategic transaction and has not been in any recent discussions with any airlines regarding the same”
I don’t see how anyone can read this and come to any conclusion other than United has NOT approached an airline to discuss m&a. There is nothing more and nothing less to take from that 8-k filing, thus not disproving anything jonNYC said. Now other click baiting bloggers took, jonNYCs tweet, and made an entire story about it, and filled in gaps that weren’t there.
Nothing in that 8k filing covers internal interest, or shuts down the possibility of a discussion at a later date.
id say insanity, is reading what isn’t there.
