What's important in a merger?
Financially speaking what is important in a merger? I'm looking at the income statements and balance sheets for CAL and UAL currently. UAL has total assets of a little over 24billion while CAL has assets of around 12.1bil. However, UAL has much more liabilities with 21.4bil vs CAL at 10.5bil.
When they start looking at who wants to buy who where does it go? Does the higher liabilities mean UAL is the one needing the help and CAL would be taking them over? Am I looking at these sheets right?
NWA is showing 24.5bil total assets with 17.1bil total liabilities with DAL at 33.3bil assets and 24.2bil liabilities. Both NWA and DAL have more assets than liabilities while UAL and CAL have less. AMR is pretty even but has more cash on hand.
I'm just curious who has the negotiating strong arm when it comes to CAL and UAL.

As I understand it, CAL will acquire UAL but retain the UAL name. NWA/DAL were extremely complimentary on everything but their fleets. UAL/CAL have many synergies but the IAD/EWR hubs, CLE/ORD hubs may face some anti-trust considerations or adjustments.
