And now tomorrow, we will once again have more than 10,000 pilots and be trading under UAL symbol. Difference is we've lost millions in ESOP stock, millions more in contract concessions and substantial seniority.

I guess to make the loop complete they will be looking for an employee buy-out in a couple years when the glow of the merger has worn off!

Nothing new under the sun, UFB!
