Continental Airlines (NYSE:CAL) and UAL Corp (NDAQ:UAUA)
SEC Filings Watchlist
The Wall Street Journal reported today that Continental and UAL were exploring a possible merger, that would result in one of the largest carriers in operation. While talks have been going on for some time, there are reports that they are accelerating in light of US Airways' (NYSE:LCC) hostile bid for Delta Airlines (OTC:DARLQ). Skeptics, however, point out that Northwest Airlines' (OTC:NWACQ) "golden share" in Continental could prove to be a significant roadblock to any such merger.
