Why the "leak"?
 
5:20 p.m. | Updated The UAL Corporation, the parent of United Airlines, and US Airways are in talks to merge, in a potential deal that would create one of the world’s largest airlines, people briefed on the matter told DealBook on Wednesday....

Jean Medina, a United spokeswoman, and Andrew Christie, a US Airways spokesman, declined to comment.
Deniable rumors from un-named sources? Sounds like a maneuver to me, and there are lots of suspects who are better at maneuvering than merging or managing airlines. :rolleyes:

So what happens when a ALPA carrier merges with a non ALPA carrier???

And the surviving airline is an ALPA carrier?

So how does AA and CAL look? Either CAL will go after United now or they will look at AA.

sorry guys but to keep this thread alive there needs to be something said about Delta. Well ok- how about tiger woods:o
the only thing to be said about Delta is they will have to start taking those signs down saying they are the "largest airline"

Regulatory nightmare that would never get past the DOT. EWR/JFK/LGA, CLE/ORD, IAH/DFW

AP source: United, US Airways in merger talks - Yahoo! Finance

Integrating their unionized work forces would be one of the most difficult tasks if they got together. The person who spoke to AP said the companies have a plan for dealing with that issue.
They have a plan... Rut Roh!!

There would be a vote to determine the surviving union. Question is how many UAL guys are behind the decert drive at UAL...

In the event of a seniority list integration if both sides cannot reach an agreement then they have to go to arbitration. Research the Bond-McKaskill amendment.
