More merger talk form Doug

YES, I have been! Abbaye De Rocs 9.5% Belgian Ale to be exact.

Now before you get all full of yourself AA is what DOUBLE the size of US and posted LESS Profit that US?

On a net dollar basis and a percentage of gross revenue basis US kicked AA arse!

See that's why I drink Belgian Ales!!! For clarity!

PS: welcome to a winner's bulletin board!!!!

C'mon Bob. None of the airline managements took their company into BK twice post 9/11 like U did. No airline furloughed as many as U did. AA didn't go into BK, and sought concessions through the bargaining process; not screwing their shareholders, creditors, and Labor.

I am not in any way, shape or form giving kudos to a company who stripped their employees and reduced them to a wage of "barely making" it...for the sake of bonuses, shareholder value so that senior level managment can become instant millionares.

I think AA is doing well for their employees, business, customers and shareholders. I respect that immensely. Balance is vital.

Yes. there is still an airline, and you still get to fly it..BK laws protect all of that. That's not stellar! And as long as Dougie can keep wages, benefits lower than anyone else keep getting rid of employees who gain longevity, his team will be rewarded with increases in stock options and share price...and the BOD will hand out the bonuses.

And as long as U has the ability to brainwash their employees to believe that their reward for producing a profitable airline is somewhere in "neverland"....they will continue to reap.

trust me, face it , it works . and the govmnt will totally let us merge with nw before they let aa get a hold of nw. why would aa want nw anyway? to screw the nw employees like aa did to twa? at least at airways they will get doh. face it aa, us is making money . we are not the poor bastards we once were . we freaken back wether you guys at aa like it or not . oh did i forget to say that us is making money? oh no i didn't, but i just wanted to emphazize that ..

I want to emphasize this...U is making money, while the employees are the poor bastards still and for at least the next 6 to 7 years.

You haven't been there for almost a year like AMFA has been on strike.

Thanks for the offer though, if I was in Hawaii, the last thing I would do is be on US Aviation, lol!

Because I did not know about Doug Parker's phone call. Do I know everything? No, of course not – in fact, it’s not even close.

But since you brought up acronyms, can you tell me what the meaning of the coded phrase...that both United and US Airways' executive suites used...called "Project Minnow" referred to?

I bet you can't -- prove me wrong!

Best regards,

P.S. I scan these boards and view just a few posts. Tony Robbins says "who you associate with is who you become." I personally do not want to associate with negative people.

Anyone can read a newspaper article and put out the silly code names and pipe dreams.

And funny did not see you at CCY with the ALPA NC at all?

Gee why is such a man of your stature not in an ALPA position?

Oh that is right, your fellow pilots dont trust you to elect you.

In case you all didn't figure it out, USA320Pilot is a Tony Robbins junkie. How many "Unleash the Idiot Within" seminars have you been to USA320Pilot?

And I bet you can't make a post without the word "minnow" in it.

Prove me wrong.

This board is going down hill day after day, month after month ..... the last 8 post are an example of why. Moderators you need to reel this BS in.

 

[murphy]

There's not a snowball's chance that LCC outbids AA for NW. Trust me. B)

You assume AA is willing to bid on the whole thing. I agree that they would certainly outbid US for the Asia stuff in a CH 7 liquidation. I'm not so sure they're willing to swallow NW whole, and NW isn't going to sell Asia unless they liquidate.

Think about this. A motivational speaker who gets rich selling others on how to be successful. The Tony Robbins way is to come up with a line of BS and sell it to unsuspecting twits.

Personally I was considering going into Televangelism but the plan hit a snag. I believed in God which was a real hinderance.

Plus a lot of the motivational slogans are gone. "Think and Grow Rich" is taken. I was thinking of "Fart & Get Smart"

Yeah, good old Tony Robbins,
Didn't he just dump his old lady for a Canadian blonde bimbo? What a guy! I can see why USA320Pilot worships the dude, they are so "simpatico" except in hair and height.

Later,
