United, Continental close to deal

This time, it looks real. WSJ reports that a merger is expected to be announced Monday. The combined airlines would top Delta as the world's largest carrier based on passengers carried. These two have been at the alter quite a few times - talks broke off in 2008, and just a few days ago negotiations seemed at an impasse over the way the deal would be priced. But that's been resolved, says the Journal. At LAX, Continental is in Terminal 6 and United is in Terminal 7.
