Which set of cheeks?(Tongue in cheek)
In an effort to show unanimity among the combined work force the newly combined airline it will be named America West...
(Tongue out of cheek.)
On a serious note, there really is no way for US Airway to benefit from merging with United (or vice-versa) if both are mortgaged to the level the article posted on the first page implies. Carrying that much debt doesn't allow for a draw-down in service, as the need every last bit of revenue to pay the debt service.
What would make most sense is to quasi-merge, to get the benefits of scale, without the impracticalities of merging these two carriers. Perhaps its been suggested on here before.
I am more inclined to agree that United is on its deathbed, and US should steer clear and reap the benefits of a major carrier disappearing. I was going to suggest picking through the remains at fire-sale prices, but I'm not sure there is anything US would want at any price.....maybe the route authority to Beunos Aries if that is something hard to come by.
Which set of cheeks?
it is so amazing how US was on its deathbed twice and you can turn around and wish it on someone else, sickening. Just think, America West could have said the same thing - steer clear and let them tank - ... If UAL goes down, it wont be US getting the pieces, as they are in just as bad of shape.
He's talking from a business point of view. I'm sure he isn't wishing UAL would tank, but is stating the possibilities that very well could happen.

And so am I, there are too many airlines that would be killing for the pieces of UAL, and US doesnt have near the money of any one of the others to go against them in a bidding war, making it much safer to merge, if not and UAL did go under first (instead of US) - US would be close behind, just like AWA was.. Face facts not fiction... If UAL offered to merge, Parker would sign the dotted line immediately.

I don’t seem to recall an “aggressor†nine years ago.In 2000 United attempted a merger with US. Both failed. United was obviously the aggressor.
