United would not be allowed to merge, with anyone, until they've made peace with their workers. It seems clear that's not going to happen. It would be nice to think that, with the CO guy running the new airline, things will be better. I doubt it. My money says the new airline will wipe-out whatever decent service Continental had, and the new airline will border on some third-world carrier.
