    Pure Unadulterated Rumor

    If UAL has assets that are heavily mortgaged, how would selling those assets allow them to keep flying longer?

    Nobama's SS

    Kind of ironic how Bush supporters are now coming out of the woodwork to cry about civil liberties. You all stood by and said nothing while people were being locked up without a trial. You said nothing while warrant-less wire taps were being issued. You said nothing while the government...

    Tired Of Economic Doom And Gloom

    Thanks for posting this. It always amazes me how people listen to and repeat propaganda (American business has the 2nd highest tax rate in the world) without doing just a little bit of research to find out the whole truth.

    I see. So I guess we can add Ual Tech to the 'supports Glenn Tilton' column. I'm sure Glenn will be glad to hear there's still one person that loves him. :up:

    Will An Alliance Help UA?

    Of course we're going to post a loss. And so is every other airline. But I'd be a lot more nervous if we posted a loss and did not have an alliance in the works.

    UA getting cold feet on U? (fingers crossed)

    Our next logical step is to figure out a way to get rid of Tilton, Brace and McDonald.

    CONTINENTAL (now) Talking to AMERICAN and BA !

    Whindler, How many days of operating cash do UA, CO and AA have? What is the cash burn rate of those 3 airlines? What kind of assets do each of these companies have that they can borrow against? How many unencumbered aircraft can be parked? Looking forward to your response.

    on again off again...

    Kind of dramatic, aren't you? I mean, let's face it, in the end, it's still just a job.

    CO & UA MERGER INFO

    I believe the 'crack-head management team at United' will be given golden parachutes, at least in the executive suite, and promptly shown the door. May it hit them squarely in their backsides.

    Delta and United

    Maybe, But I doubt it. I think you'd see the exact same problem with an attempted DL/UA combination, perhaps even worse.

    Woman Dies on American Airlines Flight

    There is zero chance the cockpit door would be opened and the cockpit O2 used.

    Merger with LCC in the spring

    We could very well see a bidding war....I'm making money holding CO. You're right, though, it is going to get very interesting, very soon. In my mind, the stars have aligned: The fed has added a bunch of liquidity to the market, so lenders are able to do deals again, the airlines are...

    Merger with LCC in the spring

    I got a good chuckle out of that one. The execs at AMR are no doubt in their war room right now trying to figure out how they're going to compete if DL and NW, and then UA and CO hook up. American is going to be at an extreme disAAdvantage with the business flyer. Southwest? Yeah, right.

    How Many Layoff's if Delta Takesover

    I think you missed a word in your first sentence, ace. Anyway, an analyst's report I read stated they believe a UA/DL deal would mean SLC closing, and a NW/DL deal would mean MEM and CVG closing, due to proximity. Who really knows what the feds will demand. The question I think really matters...

    Potential '08 Merger

    Well heck, Since no one has any clue what is really going on, I might as well throw my two cents in and come up with a really interesting senario for everybody to laugh at. United and Delta merge. United sells it's west coast maintenance operation and uses assets from sale to help boost...
