Joint venture. It's the airline management buzzword of 2009. A merger without a merger. Cost savings without being weighed down by another company's liabilities. But like you said, I can't see the future.

It's not "folly" at all if one owns the paint shop. Remember Ferris's "Paint-A-Plane" ? He became the Earl Schieb of the aviation industry. Wish I had bought more Dick Ferris stock.

I'll bet UAL isn't going to make the employees pay for them either.

Bet your correct. It would at least give Glenn the ability to say "Hey, we gave you 'guys' something".
