Any financial gurus out there?
I found it interesting that Parker was offering an all stock merger. If it flies I think it would be good to not generate any additional debt for a cash portion. The last article I read said that it would produce a company with a market cap similar to Delta. Anyone have any idea how the new AA's cash position and debt to equity would compare?

I would like to see a newly minted MBA from a good school, enthusiastic about aviation, become CEO. He'd do the job for 1/10th of the "compensation package" that would be crafted for the next CEO, and be thrilled by it. He wouldn't be tainted by any previous CEO or culture. And he'd understand that it is PEOPLE who make a company great.
And a herd of pink unicorns will traverse Central Park on Christmas day, as well.

To think of it another way, who do you want doing your heart transplant, the newly minted Doctor or the guy that has already done 10,000 of them?
