Fair use excerpt:

It's hard to find a chief executive more eager to dump his own company than UAL's Glenn Tilton. For months now, airline CEOs have been playing the dating game, and Tilton seems to be most eager to tango. But the parent of United Airlines shouldn't be sold merely because Tilton is itching to do a deal, or craves a big merger-related payday, or is plain tuckered out. Instead, the carrier's board should take a more promising approach: Drop the merger talks and bring in a new CEO who's committed to building a successful, stand-alone airline.

I whole heartedly agree with you. Rather than teaming up and letting someone else do all the hard work, make your own company profitable and world class. United used to be a great product and can return to form but only through hard work and restructuring.

I agree he isnt the only one at UA that has no interest in making UA a successful stand alone carrier.

It will be a wonderful day when Mr Tilton is gone. Hopefully it comes soon! United has the potential to become a great airline again - but it won't happen until he is gone.
