No money for employee pensions, but money to bid for I-Air's assets. Corporate America at their finest.

The best thing for Independence Air is for UAL to purchase their assets, be re-introduced as a UnitedExpress feeder carrier, and get rid of all A319s.

It would save the company, go back to their profitable niche, and save many employee jobs.

I think that bridge has been burned. Regardless of the outcome, I wish the Indy Air people the best. It's never good when tons of people loose their jobs.
