Rumored big announcement

[robbedagain]

i believe that in another thread there was a rumor of US buying UA I also heard that from some United Employees in my station and i also heard that DL would buy CO I dont know much more than that

The Houston Chronicle has a story today that CAL/UA is a done deal if DAL/NW announce a merger.

As has been mentioned before: No matter how much sense it makes to have the Q400 fly for US Express, the mainline ALPA scope clause prohibits a turboprop that size, whether by a wholly owned or a contract carrier. Yup, the same agreement that lets Mesa and Republic run 90 seat jets.

i would not be surprised if the company puts something out once delta and nw make their announcement. what it is is anyones guess. but i can guarantee you we are talknig merger with someone.

 

[Jetsetter2Ord]

I think a merger with or aquistion of UA is a significant possibulity. For those of you think US might aquire Frontier, I don't see that one happening for several reasons, the biggest one being they are a 95 + pct domestic carrier, and their limited international ops (Mexico and SJO) US already has. As much as we put down current US management, one thing I agree with them on is US needs to and will grow Internationally, with slight capacity reductions domestically. Buying F9 goes against this. If US where to acquire a another smaller carrier, the only I see them even considering would be Spirit, who now has over half their operations as international service,

Seen a Spirit route map lately ?

Omg, I was thinking the same exact thing. The way our luck goes around here I would never rule it out

 

[robbedagain]

what does mesa have to offer besides the GO airline in the Hawiian Islands and few of the CRJs

 

[RowUnderDCA]

I bet NK.

 

[Hello Newman]

The Houston Chronicle has a story today that CAL/UA is a done deal if DAL/NW announce a merger.

Yea,,,it'a always a "DONE DEAL"......so was UA/US and if you wanna go back even further in 1985 US/OZ was also a "DONE DEAL"

 

[Poug Darker]

NK only has three SA cities over what LCC does. Why spend money for that?

Yeah, and if so US/AA is a done deal.
