Negotiating in public.

As for the mergers:
We will buy AS if it is deemed necessary to keep the Asian feed. I bet we buy HI if they get a HND slot, and we will buy the route authorities or the entire airline of Spirit to compete with American in LA. (That is if the LA governments do not grant more slots to us, which we are asking for)

We are probably going to "hide" a little profit if you will, and the majority of that is in early funding of pension obligations, debt paydown, JFK and LGA construction, as well as building our war chest.
