Good lord! America West and USAir aren't even fully integrated and now they are being hounded by United? Does anyone else think this is odd?

Why would USAir want to join forces with an airline that is loosing half a Billion dollars every 3 months?!

Get your house in order USAir before you go taking in borders!

Rumor has it that United is only interested in "east" USAirways and "west" USAirways will go to another airline such as Continental or American.

True. They abandoned the prospect since the govt was going to approve it. The stock took a bump at that time too, since investors thought it wasn't the most prudent of plans. At $15 p/share UA isn't too highly valued, considering it was over $40 in the last 12 months.

I meant NOT going to approve it. That's what I get for working on one computer and hitting forums on the other.

To the misinformed Milwaukee resident who can't read and probably and sadly works for United, all you need to do is try your hardest to focus on the press release United itself put out that says it lost over 500 MILLION dollars in the 1st quarter.

United tried to cuddle up to us at Continental and was rebuffed, now they want to get into bed with USAir? If United were a person, it would be a whore. A gold digging whore.

And as far as creating a name just to call me a douche! HAHA Thanks! As a gay man, that is a compliment, nobody likes a ripe behind!
