From the article:
I think this will be the most likely scenario. Again, it's just an opinion on my part, but CAL is in a much better financial position than UA, why would they merge with a company with such level of liability, when they can just as easily wait 'til UA goes into chapter 11 protection and align their cost structure with CAL?
"Should airline fundamentals deteriorate, we believe the stronger carrier would likely wait for a bankruptcy scenario to acquire the other," Keay said

As for UAUA. Lets see how the credit markets are. If they keep thawing they will get credit. If not, well we will see.
DAL is probably going to park 80 or so NWA jets over the next few years. Lot of that lift will be replaced. By what will come out over the next six months or so......

We will also see a lot of wide body lift growth going forward. This plan has been in the works for some time, and we will probably see the results of this sooner rather than later.
Lots coming in Dec and Jan in the way of us pilots finally seeing what the master plan has been for about two years.

Too bad any C series aircraft will probably be flow by a pimple faced 19 year old for $22 an hour. It is made in Canada which makes it a "regional" aircraft. We all know the guys at the legacies are too good to fly a "regional" aircraft.
