R.A.'s plan in this mess:
Announce merger, collect bonus: Check.
Go on tv promoting merger, collect bonus: Check.
Claim no furloughs/hub closures, secretly planning to do opposite: Check.
Raise ticket prices to match rising cost of fuel: Ehhh..... Maybe tomorrow.
Oh yeah, collect bonus and make golden parachute larger for myself and my friends: Check.

Seems about right to me


But I agree... it seems like they have something good in the works. I just hope it works out and they stick to the plan while not forgetting about the employees that make the company stay alive on a daily basis.
