All you UAL guys that think the cal guys are your friend - think again. IAH is the hot bed of the bad seeds at cal. We've already seen in print what the IAH LEC thinks of UAL pilots and now this. Hold all of them accountable. Start at their mc and work your way thru their LEC's. They are no better than xxxxx!

Airline merger talks likely as lean winter months approach
July 05, 2009|By Julie Johnsson, TRIBUNE REPORTER

United also needs to regain Wall Street's confidence. As of Thursday, its stock had declined 70 percent since January, to $3.31 per share, leaving United with a market capitalization of $476.4 million. That's paltry for one of the world's largest airlines, a carrier that generated $20.2 billion in sales last year.

Another sign of United's tenuous standing on Wall Street: It agreed to pay 17 percent interest on $175 million in debt in late June that was secured by $583 million worth of spare parts.

In fact the UAL Market Cap for August 31st 2009 was $903.97M.

What do you suppose caused it to double in a month?

In 2009, United Airlines entered into an extensive partnership with Continental Airlines. This partnership includes codeshare and frequent flyer agreements. As a part of the agreement, Continental left the Delta-led SkyTeam alliance to join United's Star Alliance.

Sure looks like Continental Bailed the shareholders out on this one.

Hoss, call me an A$$ if you want, but I'm not the "Big Dumb One".
If facts were a requirement to post on this board, there wouldn't be a forum.

Why did CAL leave SkyTeam? To bail out UAL shareholders out of the goodness of their heart? Why did Jeff call Glenn out on his New Mexico horse ranch after UAL began deep merger talks again with USairways in the spring of 2010? If CAL was competing so effectively and growing so organically, why didn't they just remain independent? Based on CAL management actions, it would appear as though they were very uncomfortable with that path. I wonder why? Maybe one of the CAL saved UAL or EX-CON bag sticker guys can explain it in great detail for me.
