The East/West thing is not what it seems on the line. It's 5-10% of the loudmouths on both sides that are the most vocal (and they all seem to have internet access). Most of us just want to move on. For example, I don't hear about it on the line at all. I fly on the East and I commute on both sides.

If the merger does not go through then I would wager that DP is offered the CEO position at the new AA. If so, why would he say no?
