You must have me in mind. We here at UAL, at least the ones I've spoke with, feel that since we MUST merge with a carrier, CAL is hands down, the best dance partner. We are being assessed now for the merger to protect our interest (I think CAL is doing the same). Our interest (UAL) is to dump Tilton and his team of overcompensated managers and to a lesser extent, protect our career expectations. Career expectations mean different things to different people. My sense is that no matter how much Merger legal talent we hire to protect our (UAL and CAL) respective interest, it will land in arbitration where a neutral party, with no axe to grind, will decide how it will be done. In other words, we are all going to have to take a bite of a s#!t sandwich
