We in Houston hoped that this would happen when United Airlines acquired our hometown Continental Airlines, with Continental's CEO becoming CEO of the combined airline. Let's just say we weren't entirely thrilled with how it actually worked out.

- akhilcacharya 7y agoThey could buy IBM almost 2x over with their cash on hand.
- Merrill 7y agoMaybe if Whitehurst becomes President of IBM? Currently, Rometty is Chairman, President, and CEO. Best practice is to split the Chairman and President positions.
