Areed. CO doesn't need anybody........they are probably the BEST US carrier operating in today's environment. A Delta-CO merger several years ago would have been good but not sure whether either would even consider it at this point. No way Parker gets his hands on CO.
Fer sur...look at how an uncooperative jetstream has flushed US's operations down the toilet.
And here is one that would be the strangest of all but does have possibilities if you think about it. All of this speculation is hillarious and I love a good laugh. So here it goes: Parker sells US West to AirTran or NW. He/Isom/Kirby then become The leaders of US East and combine Alaska and Frontier with US East and call it the "New USAirways". Then Isom uses his talents to deploy all of those new A340s, we are "supposedly" :blink: getting next year, over the pacific out of both SEA and PHL. There would be good feed on both coasts for both atlantic and pacific traffic and we would get a good midwest hub. Hey I'm on vacation and am enjoying a few post-church bloody marys right now.
Maybe YOU are content with how things are around here, but I sure as hell am NOT. Without knowing what amount of seniority YOU have around here or been witness to see how the entire operation has been degraded, WHY should I give them a break and NOT COMPLAIN? When you have a Management Team that makes YOUR Airline (that's YOURS and Mine by the way) the laughing stock of the industry, why shouldn't I complain? For the record, I have 27years, generally work 80-90 hours monthly (TA and domestic), Go Above and Beyond for the customer and usually have a great time doing it. Regretfully, I was hired in the days when Employers CARED, and have amassed almost 900 sick hours credit that are pretty useless at this point. Oh, and another thing.....I don't drink their Koolaid (imagine that
), don't believe ANY of their SPIN or read ANY of their memos. And You can be rest assured you would NEVER see ME at one of their "Crew Brew-ha-ha's".Also, usually always get a GOOD LAUGH everytime I hear the word C-H-I-N-A! So how HAPPY is that
