United-US Airways merger odds better

“None of this stuff is going to help them tomorrow - it's all long-term, revenue-enhancing possibilities. But it would give (an expanded) United the largest domestic footprint of any airline.”

United Airlines and US Airways saw their first attempt at marriage foiled earlier this decade by the deal's high cost coupled with stiff opposition from lawmakers, unions and consumers. via Arizona Republic

bottom line...fuel prices are over double what they use too. prices of airline tickets are to cheap and are not allowing airlines to keep a float. so just wait and watch a few more go belly up and there for finally maybe some one will say check out miss management they should double the price of tickets make people where suits and ties when they fly as it is a privilege to fly..if you don't pay then hit the road jack take a train walk etc.. Management should investing profits back into the airline...But some how most management does is find a way to steal money in to there pockets by driving ways to get many golden bonuses.. most managers at most airlines are useless bunch of dead waits and need to be given more bonsus so they can go. get my drift. The masons need to regulate corporate management .

I think the CEO's of the Airlines should be sued for unfair labor practices, Why should they get several million dollars in incentive pay while they cut the pay of their work force. If the airline is going broke. If it wasnt for the work force there would be NO Airline, The pilots and flight attendants put their lives on the line every day. The CEO's expect the work force to take a pay cut to help save the company but dont you think it should start at the top!!!
