Nice try.

Fact is, these statements contradict most of what management said were the reasons for doing the merger at all - creating synergies and a more financially viable carrier. Now they're are saying "Well, maybe not". Hardly standard boilerplate SEC language.

Funny - I didn't see Microsoft's M&A risks on the front page of the Wall Street Journal today....
