Actually, the ENTIRE airline industry was on that list, even SWA and Alaska. It mentioned that those two had slightly better propects than the others due to their fuel hedging.

Yes. Just playing the headline game with those who need no introduction. (It is their game after all.)
Seems to be working.

Perhaps. But US Airways is considered to be deeper due to their lack of tangible assets to borrow against and raise capital. As everyone knows, solvency is all about liquidity. If and when airlines start to falter, the first to go will probably buoy the rest.

While I agree that the lack of capital from outside sources will probably keep this merger from happening, using the opinion of another BLOGGER to make your case is a little like using Wikipedia as reference for a Doctoral dissertation.

Well, since this isn't about a "doctoral dissertation" but is about US merger news I'll take the last part of your post as hyperbole.
But since you do agree with the blogger and my opinion, as well, I, at least, will take that as compliment.

My point was, instead of just linking to another blogger's opinion, just type your own. I could see using a link if it was someone of note, but just to another blogger? Come on!

Exactly! Using a nobody to "enhance" ones opinion, though the "logical" argument du jour, is still just bad faith logic (how is that for an oxymoron?).

Come on! His opinion would seem to be as good as anyone's on this board.
Besides it's good to see what the outside world thinks of us (not that this board isn't the center of thought concerning The U).
As far as only quoting someone of note - you must mean someone like DP or Glen Tilton.
I understand what you're saying but I've read airline pundits "of note" who many times have divergent opinions and are many times just as wrong/right as any blogger.
This place is a good example of armchair bloggers.
If it so happens that the "unknown blogger" has a valid point why not post it.
