United has over 50 jets (777s, 787s, and 737 MAX) being delivered in 2018 and 2019. We are certainly not growing "mostly RJs". The company is also capped at 76 seaters.

And sorry guys, we aren't buying JB, even though I think it would be great at the right price.

United has 7 billion dollars laying around? Even if that did happen, It would be a merger and not a purchase. Not sure if you know the difference.

United could issue stock in a "purchase". Companies acquire (purchase) other companies all the time either cash, stock, or a combination of both. You do know United has re-purchased $5B if its own stock (and counting) that can be used to issue to shareholders of a company being purchased.

Some do, some don't. What we REALLY want is for our management team to find that rudder! Invest in the AIRLINE. Learn how to RUN an airline. And invest in it's PILOTS.
