I had seen all the flights posted on the AIRLINERS.NET site. Someone had posted all the new flights there. No inside / early info from me. I wish I was the fly on the wall.
 
Ok, I'll mark my calendar to note that this is the day of the "big prediction." As of today, June 16, 2005, there is NO "new US Air" anywhere but on a piece of paper sitting on a judge's desk.

If the merger (or whatever that messy joiniing of disfunctional airline entities can be called) does happen don't be surprised if your insect-inspired vision is met by an exterminator wearing a canyon blue hat.

As always, I wish every airline and every airline employee well ... just not too well! :)

Chomp, chomp, chomp!!! :blush:

I never claimed to be a perfect predictor -- obviously, huh? However, you're exactly right in that those are the exact words I used and I have to stand behind them, even if I turned out to be incorrect.

Good luck to the folks at the "New Cactus"! :D
