Continental Express and the CAL/UAL merger?
HI,
I was wondering if anything would happen to continental express in the CAL/UAL merger? Because I know United also has united express. Thoughts? Feelings?
thanks

That depends on a lot of things. One, it depends on the individual express contracts. Some contain a clause that protects a regional carrier in the event of a merger, some don't. It also depends on the agreement between the major partners, and the future business model of the major partners.

In my opinion CAL won't touch UAL until UAL starts to exit from another BK, then I'd expect them to make a play on a much leaner UAL. Once again, in my opinion I also think O won't let a company the size of UAL liquidate, he'll probably pull another Wachovia/Wells Fargo but not a GM.

If i had a crystal ball i would see a lot of people out of work and a lot of whipsawing ... certain regionals might grow but others would suffer.

Note:
The following companies do not exist:
1.)United Express
2.)Continental Express
3.)Continental Connections
There are all just brand names that a bunch of different regional carriers fly under.
