Having in the resent past been part of a merger between two big airlines, I would not wish the process on my worst enemy. Five years later we were still struggling with the "I am a XXer and your are a YYer". "X's way was always better" "Y" resents "X" and "X" thinks that "Y" is a problem child. Not to mention two different pay scales across the company. I could go on and one, but as it is on of the reasons I left and am now self employed, I really don't give a poop anymore.......

So, basically, the concensus here is that this type of merger is flighty?



Cool
