Along the same lines as the article posted last week in the London Financial Times which interviewed CEO Glen Tilton, merger rumors are indeed heating up. Here is a link from the Denver blog to a Bloomberg article where the President of Continental is quoted as saying they are still considering a tie up of the two carriers. For me, I have to say I hope this merger happens and I hope it is soon. It has been obvious for some time that our current management team is acting as real estate brokers and it would be refreshing to work for a group that had a desire to run an airline.
