United Continental...merger
I hope their navigation systems are a bit more up to date than whoever put this together: Route Map | Let's Fly Together
When did Middlesex get swallowed up? Sometime in the 60's? And since when was Heathrow the airport for Hayes (well yes, it is, but you know what I mean).

Will they still break guitars? What will this mega outfit be called? Remember when Cunard and Air Lingus were to get together, now THAT would have been a name to get attention!

It seems that for now the regional flights are safe:
Q.Will the combined airline continue to fly to my city?
A. Yes. We will continue to maintain service at all communities currently served by either airline, including more than 140 small metropolitan areas and communities.
Additional information and route maps are available at www.UnitedContinentalMerger.com

Otterman makes a good point. The next merger will be American/USAIRWAYS, or at least part of USAIRWAYS known as USAIR EAST.
the synergies are actually quite good with usair giving up slots at LGA to concentrate on DCA (new york and washington dc). USAIR really has the east coast pretty well sewn up, but american really doesn't.
American has chicago and dallas.
so, some overlap in the carribean...phoenix...hmmm which lead me to mention buying only usair east.
oh well

competent pilots? I assume you have not been on a united flight deck. I started with Pan Am years ago and am flying right seat and recently flew some knucklehead who is in love with himself and dumb enough to think he is important because he is in the left seat. This guy was going balistic with dispatch certain he had to be rerouted because we had to fly over a portion of lake Michigan to get back to Washington in a non-overwater airplane. How is it possible to get guys like this in commercial aviation?
