DOJ probably would never allow that but might let 1/3rd go to AA and 2/3rd's to CAL?
Don't shoot the messenger its just speculation and rumor at best.

Yes, it looks like a good ol' fashioned merger alright. Who knows, in 5 years the name "Continental" may go the way of "Northwest" as a has been. Maybe some regional will crop up and buy the name ala Piedmont. Or, maybe not....who knows.
Can see it now......One Big "HAPPY"" Family!!
So it's really true......Misery honestly love's company????
Thanks for the affirmation's.
Did someone say something about AA in this thread????

Ask any CAL Pilot about a merge and you will hear a resounding NO. Just from my experience, asking my UAL buddy's if they want to merge and every single one of them has said YES.
Wonder why?

For the record I don't want to merge with CAL unless its the only way to get rid of Tilton. This mirrors those that do want to merge with CAL.
However, the majority of those I fly with want nothing to do with CAL. UAL has all the pieces going at it alone that could be realized in a merger. We only need to utilize the available resources (ie parked jets and unused routes).
The ONLY reason there's even talk of a merger is to enrich a few senior management carpet-baggers. Thats it!
