Would be smart to move to Houston TX. Much lower labor cost.

I think Tilton meant opportunites for our employees under the leadership of Larry Kellner when there is no more United.

How about this..........maybe another merger in an industry that has too many seats w/ not enough rear-ends sitting in them........wait, wait.....how about this......another merger that will provide customers w/ more choices to more destinations....another merger that will create a US AL w/ US employees, able to link paxs to flts all over the world. How about the positive spin??

Larry Kellner at Continental is too smart and respected to allow or even think about a merger. I predict what will occur is the total demise of UAL and then he'll buy some of UAL's most precious routes and the Star Alliance will then be complete. Continental is too conscious of its award-winning passenger service vs. United. Tied in with most of the other Star Alliance members will just be a great opportunity for Continental to remain as Continental but with a more expanded route network than we see today.

The door is now wide open for AA, BA, IB to link up their business plans as well.

I didn't hear a peep from Sir Richard regarding the CAL Star Alliance.

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Cancer

You could struggle to display your feelings and emotions at the moment. Being so sensitive, the smallest things could hurt your feelings, but no one else is likely to realise since you retreat into your shell at these times. This will not be a conscious decision, and you'll feel frustrated at your inability to explain the hurt you suffer.
