What exactly do you mean by 'until they decide what to do about US'?

I doubt that any merger with US will scuttle CO's intended plan to forge closer ties with UA. That arrangement is about making CO more money and increasing CO shareholder value...or presumably CO wouldn't have entered into that agreement to begin with. Certain perceptions about US and the quality of its product (or lack thereof) among FTers (among others) would have little to do with it. IMHO. It's about making money.
