Yeah. Considering the astounding success AMR had with the TWA purchase in terms of jobs saved and employee relations improvements, how could they not succeed with a purchase of United? Yeah, that's the ticket.

You don't really believe this do you? AMR has 3.9 billion in cash and you are suggesting that they are going to buy a company that has 8.3 billion in underfunded pension liability, among other problems.

Are you joking, niave, or just stupid?

I think you should get your feet on the ground and rethink what you wrote. It was meant sarcastic!!!!!!

Who ever thought of this idea over at MBA must have had a few glasses too much to drink and consulted a palm reader to get to such a result. AA is it self not on such solid ground as many would like it to see. Further it would be very unlikely that AA would get any government permission to purchase any of the larger airlines. The anti-trust laws would be an issue. Any further purchase or merger would create a monopoly that would be prohibited under such laws.
