"This will be a very eventful week for all the employees of UA."

I wish you all the very best in these difficult times. On a recent trans-Atlantic flight I must say that your ground and cabin staff did a fine job. I hope that your new CEO will be able to harness the good resources that are within the company.

I know that everyone had high hopes for an announcement concerning a new CEO but does anyone think there will be a new one (other than an interm) before the next six months?
Also, in the press over here is was stated that the UAL-USAirways codeshare is going to undergo addtional scrutiny because of possible ''anti-competative'' implications. Wait ... the ATSB refused to secure a loan (so far) to UAL. They do however, secure one for Airways on the condition that Airways had in their business plan a codeshare with UAL. Now the government''s other hand is saying this codeshare may be anti-competative. What is really going on here? Have the right politicians not been purchased? Could the government''s vision of the air transportation market be so muddled as it seems? Everyone trumpets the free market yet here it seems to being rigged so certain carriers fail. There is a famous remark concerning Barry Goldwater that he was the staunchest conservative the world had ever seen ... that is until it came time for water projects in his home state at which time he turned into the world''s staunchest socialist. We all know that W is Carty''s lap-poodle but does he need to make it SO obvious? Discretion Yanks, discretion!

Not to worry, the codeshare will get approved. Notice they only extended the review period another 30 days, instead of the 150 that they could have done. Have patience, it'll happen.

As for the CEO announcement, there are indications that an announcement will come by week's end, possibly as early as tomorrow. This will be a very eventful week for all the employees of UA. By the end of the week, the new pay/work rule/benefit cuts will be announced to all work groups.
 
I hope that when you say "I read on Yahoo" that you mean the Yahoo news forum and not the Yahoo UA Msg Board.

Yep, on the news forum - however, the local news still reported the announcements are planned for this week.
