How Soon Before The Merger?

[GeezLouis]

Now that the company has milked everyone for all they're worth, and gotten costs down to their liking, how long do you think it will be before some sort of corporate merger/buyout/alliance takes place, and who will the likely partners be? :huh:

Geez:

Consolidation is a likely scenario because industry financial losses are still too high. Look at last week's quarterly reports for American, Delta, Northwest, and Continental. For a corporate transaction to occur, like yesterday's announcement of a tender offer for AMR, there will need to be venture capital.

In my opinion, US Airways is being propped up for a deal and could be the surviving business entity. Do not be surprised if a deal occurs for US Airways, most likely with UAL, in the late summer or early fall with J.P. Morgan the IB.

What happens when you put two companies together that are losing money?

You lose more money!

Here comes the fabled UCT/ICT once again!

Dyeing industries consolidate to create economies of scale. It happened to the railroads and steel industry, and will likely occur to the airlines.

A report I read indicated that UAL’s E&FA department believed the former UAL attempt to acquire US Airways would have generated an extra $1.9 billion per year in combined revenue. That number is likely smaller due to consolidation and industry-wide revenue deterioration, however, it's still very large.

Meanwhile, both US Airways and UAL’s restructuring are aligning the companies and there could be a deal in the not-so-distant future, especially with UAL’s inability in over two years to craft a plan of reorganization.

By the way, see what you can find out from J.P. Morgan regarding their IB activity between the two companies.

Yes USA320 U's plan was much better...2 bankruptcies later (still in BK), and ATSB loan that's been modified at least twice, 3 employee concessions and tons more RJ's. Like I said 320...you got no game, you got no moves and you guys are going nowhere. 😛

And how much additional revenue was the codeshare supposed to add? I don't think the number was close to 1.9 billion, and I fail to see how merging would add significantly more revenue than the codeshare does. Perhaps I can be enlightened?

 

[700UW]

And the $1.9 Billion figure was before 9/11 happened and fuel prices rose.

I guess USA320pilot is licking his chops thinking of getting that left seat 777 at UAL.


U = Boat anchor on bottom of sea
UAL = Boat anchor on the way down

U + UAL = . . . . well, whatever it is, is doesn't float.

Looks nice, UAL pilots will look good in it! With grandfathering on that equipment type, we would never fly it and thats okay 🙂
