Not too sure on what exactly your referring to other than the drop dead date for CAL's Anti-Trust Imminity Agreement that had a 'shelf life' until the end of 2010. If that's what your refering to, the following are the two ways it
could have played out....
Scenario#1:
IF CAL
would have remained independent, then their would have been a 'shelf life' on the Anti-Trust Immunity granted to CAL (and UAL) by the Gov. That "drop dead date" was to end the immunity at the end of DEC 2010, that's the only thing that had a 'shelf life' in what your were referring to?? Even during the Merger 'talks', this could have revived if/and ONLY if the 'deal' did not go through via Gov approval regarding the Merger.
Scenario#2: The preverbal "Ship has sailed".....There is NO LONGER a Anti-Trust/Drop Dead date b/c it's all one company now....UAL.
As we know today, Scenario#2 is the hard fact.
