I think she meant to say, professional executives who owe a fiduciary duty to shareholders do not do this.

Back in the early 90's, there was a "Big Announcement" that US and AC were going to enter into a "strategic alliance". It was the lead story in the company newspaper.

That whole deal was quickly cast aside when the BA investment and wet-lease deal happened. (And that deal was kiboshed by the BA-AA alliance.)




Parker had 20 months from the consummation of the merger to the Nicolau award to negotiate a contract with the pilots. Because he chose, typical of today's airline management, to foot-drag and low-ball the negotiations, he is now stuck with the nuclear war between the pilot groups. Had he agreed to a fair contract with the pilots before Nicolau, not only would the contract be a done deal, but so would the pilot seniority list.

Correct. But at least the war has not begun. We are still in the honeymoon phase.. Believe it!

From the looks of what they've been doing with this place I would guess Spirit. This place becomes more and more alike with the current version of Spirit everyday.

Could be wrong, but I doubt AA will let the incompetents in Tempe run their airline into ghettoness.

Doug Parker thinks CO - UA is a bad deal.

"That scenario seems less likely than popular perception," US Chairman and CEO Doug Parker recently argued. "Delta and Northwest getting together makes lots of sense [based on their route networks], but taking Continental out of the [SkyTeam] Alliance doesn't make sense. . .There's more behind all these transactions than just looking at two route maps. It's a lot more complicated than that."

DL, NWA and CO are all SkyTeam members and a merged DL-NWA obviously would be a SkyTeam carrier. But presumably UA is not leaving the Star Alliance, of which it is a founding member, and therefore CO's Newark and Houston hubs would become part of Star under the DL-NWA/CO-UA consolidation scenario. "Why would you go through all the trouble [of a merger] to lose [Newark and Houston] from the alliance?" asks Parker, wondering aloud whether non-US SkyTeam members would be ready to embrace a merger that could cost them CO's network.
