US Airways CEO Doug Parker is girding for another round of buyout bids, but
insiders say his style this time around will be marked by methodical planning
rather than boldness and bluster. For example, Parker reportedly has already
lined up a designated driver for the evening following his next buyout failure.
Airline Merger Rumors
Span The Continents
The Dilly has learned that six airlines are deep in merger talks to create one large global airline.
Hawaiian, United, Garuda, Emirates, Singapore and Thai (HUGEST) would span the globe and attempt to
compete with the merger announced last week by GOL, Iberia, Northwest, Olympic, Ryanair, Mexicana, Onyx, US
Airways and Saudia (GINORMOUS). The airline mergers follow the move by 26 airlines to all combine, informally
known as Megacarrierwithloadsofdebt. Combined with the mergers and acquisitions announced last week, this
would leave the world with four airlines - Megacarrierwithloadsofdebt, Hugest, Ginormous and Southwest.

laugh so hard is because we love this crazy aviation business so much.
