Well look like US and AA have a strong chance of becoming one....
There is allot of rumor out there.........and I wish AA the best of LUCK....hopefully when AA come out of this merger....they will become stronger with a partner...to compete with the giant DL and UA.....

Wonder how many employees AA would be furlough before merging with US? What will be outsources? Any though?



AMR Corp. 's bankruptcy filing has paved the runway for speculation about a possible a merger between American Airlines and US Airways Group Inc. , Bloomberg Businessweek reports.

Such a union could help the two carriers become more competitive in terms of size and costs, analysts said.

A spokeswoman for American Airlines said the company doesn’t “comment on rumors.”

In the past seven years, Parker has bid for four airlines, three of which were in bankruptcy. In 2004, as CEO of America West, he bid for bankrupt ATA. In 2005, he oversaw a merger with bankrupt US Airways.

In 2006, he bid for bankrupt Delta>(DAL_). In 2008, he sought a merger with United(UAL_), following a course set by predecessor Steven Wolf, who pursued United in 2000.

Now, in every corner of the airline industry, speculation abounds that Parker will make a move on American in bankruptcy court.

The second potential path to a merger with American Airlines could occur in bankruptcy court, if one assumes that the bankruptcy chatter is to be believed, which is a big step.

"At this point, American's market capitalization is clearly a small enough number for a takeover bid," said Avondale Partners airline analyst Bob McAdoo, in an interview. "

Since AA stock is below market standard and if they fill BK, would US buy AA? Any thought? only US and AA is a good match since DL/NW, CO/UA, WN/FL is taking and done. Wonder if Doug would try a second attempt to take over AA like DL once they filled for BK? History repeat it self?

CX IS starting services from HKG-ORD-HKG. How that going impart United from ORD-HKG services? Who going win? That mean United going have to compete with AA and CX for passenger....That might sound interest for United

On another note....that is good for NONREV on United from ORD-HKG-ORD.
