This is an interesting thought. However, courts in the European Union ruled that the exclusivity agreements signed by Boeing and American, Delta, and Continental were anticompetitive and illegal. Boeing and its "exclusive" airlines mutually decided that it would be easier to void the contracts...

Does it make you feel good to say that? The manner in which several US Airways employees have conducted themselves in this forum only reinforces my opinion that Delta and US Airways are culturally incompatible. Our groups obviously have different values and a very different mindset.

Do our friends at US Air ever work? Or do you guys just pore over every little shred of "journalism" (and I use that term loosely) which might reassure you that this train wreck might actually happen? You go on and on about how we are brainwashed, but I think you may have it backwards. Doug...
