Why would UAL want or need to bring additional turmoil to the airline via merger just to get some expensive pilots when they can pluck whoever they want from the applicant pool, screen them and start them out cheap and upgrade them on their terms? The past year UAL has been taking a bunch of 10+ year pilots from Spirit and JetBlue along with FedEx, regional and military with some DAL and AA sprinkled in. They've got a bunch of aircraft on order, so a small airline really wouldn't be a value add vs the headaches it would create (even in the bizzaro world where it could get approved).
Spirit is a different story, due to very different circumstances.

It would be similar to one of us getting mad that someone started at UA and then hopped over to delta. Who cares?
