This has been the SOP for the last 5 years.
Continental management for the most part runs United now. They sold Continental Express because Continental needed cash. They may be looking at what Delta and American has done with reacquiring regionals and thinking about the same thing.

None of this matters if these rumors don't turn into a nice chunk of cash getting infused into the XJT pilot group now. The smallest mention of Brad Rich and all of you wash women are creaming yourselves. By the way it sounds, I'm pretty confident there was a line of XJT people waiting to give him a handy in the men's room. Who cares if they buy us. If it doesn't result in competitive compensation immediately then it's time to go.
Reference the C5 experiment. Buying a stake in that company didn't turn things around.
