Really the only CEO CO has had since Bob Six is Bethune. Other than that it appears that the CO CEO's have been involved in a revolving door also. Who was the genius at CO that decided on CAL Lite?

While UAL has not been rainbows and unicorns for a few years. We have regained significant footing and appear to be a formidable stand alone carrier. Hopefully the CO merger will allow for an even better carrier with a bright future. All of the above is an unknown. What is known is that none of what we write here about who is bigger, better etc, will have any impact on what takes place when the union and the arbitrator. So sit back relax and enjoy the ride. We will know the end of this story when it unfolds.

Obviously you have not been reading the newspaper or watching tv for the last 9 years. Have you not seen the weekly reports that UAL has been a financial disaster for years??? Liquidity has been questioned monthly. Meanwhile, as others go, they always state that SWA and CAL are in the best financial shape for the long run.

Don't you think it is awfully coincidental that UAL made money for the first time in ages when a merger came up???
