Anyone wish to start a pool as to when the merger will be announced?

STAR Alliance is consumated on 27 Oct. Larry leaves at the end of the year and the (a-hum) lawyer takes over. Furloughs are complete by 30 Oct. My bet is we will all be celebrating the announcement over Thanksgiving dinner.

Thanksgiving is the 26th. I'm going with 23 November, the Monday before.

I've already bought my uniform.

Some nice flannel pajamas, and bunny slippers. My feet get cold on my tile floor at home.

celebrating the announcement
Really? The only people that win in these deals are the suits and the lawyers....and in CAL's case, they're one in the same. For us peons...whipsawing, furloughs, downbids, displacements....yeah, a lot to celebrate.

I agree. Why would CAL do anything now when they can pick up the pieces later. CAL is just sitting around waiting for UAL to die.

Looking at CAL's finances, they're not in any better shape. They have major debt due next year, and it looks like the banks have said 'enough', thus the reason Kellner was shown the door.

Gawd you sound like all the other broken records.

UALs not going away. You are not picking up any pieces. You are not getting a bunch of cheap jets and abandoned routes.

Sorry, looks like you'll have to earn it the hard way; don't rely on getting something at the expense of others.

Cheers.
