The thing about mess opening an ATL base should tell you what you need to know about any United buying the place rumors.
Bail-while the hailing is good.

You do realize this is an attempt by Mesa to get some of our pilots to jump ship. This is nothing but a small out station basing attempt by Mesa to gain pilots. Remember they are extremely short staffed.
By all means please leave for the likes of Mesa.

Don’t get me wrong. I have no intent to make a sideways move for a place like Mesa. But it shows how bad things are here that people would consider it, or that a place like Mesa has more good news than we do.
But hey, good things are coming. Our partners are noticing. We have a seat at the table. Yada Yada Yada.

To the majors I go

I even mentioned that to my dad who was a top exec at a Fortune 50 company in Manhatten, he has been through many acquisitions in the board rooms and he said any "hurdles" he calls it that effect their end game will be taken down by either money or lawyer teams maneuvering around the loopholes which is in every contract. One word can change a contract. So, even he said "money talks" if United wants Xjt So, if anyone thinks UAL can't or won't buy a regional because of a FA contract is sadly mistaken. just sayin...

Either they have zero idea what to do, or the plan is unfolding precisely as planned. Make your bets..
