Exactly - had Horton embraced being open to the merger from the beginning instead of making all those bush league CEO comments about us airways being insignificant he would have had a chance at running the merged carrier. Parker has totally bitc@ slapped Horton in this process.

Although I prefer to see the carriers stay independent for selfish reasons I due tend to pull for the underdog when forced to pick a side.
