Where are you getting the 62,000,000 million shares to buy from? You think you approach enough institutional investors that command that kind of equity and they are going to sell them to you at market value?

The company couldn't be taken private as part of the arrangement? Like an LBO. Except in that case all shares, not just controlling interest, would have to be purchased.

exactly.... Cause.... 4 months ago they were getting a total divorce as of March 1st, and then the same week as T-Mobile/Sprint, and two weeks prior to being done with each other suddenly the light bulb went off. 👌👌👌

Cohabitation in sin before tying the knot? Maybe.

But that would probably depend on no regime change in DC. They have to know that.

stock swaps happen in mergers, the scale of Alaska to American is different than Continental and United though. But Continental did enter the star alliance with United before the merger. The Doj approved it after a while, then merger talks resumed after they felt assured a merger would be approved. Not sure that’s what we are dealing with here but there is precedent.

Usairways said the same thing with AA before the merger.
