Wouldn't UAL+CAL be too big?

Too big? I get that complaint on occasion, but it usually resolves itself. Uh, where did the origional post by emb pilot go?

Strange thing happen in the cyber world (in ref. to my original post)

I meant to ask what you guys think about UAL+CAL size. ~16%+~10% of the market = 26%.
Do you think the DOJ might have monopoly issues?

Would that be larger than USair + Delta?

These are the only scenerios that stabilize an unstable industry. Consolidation is the only feasable answer. And the government does want a stabilized airline industry.

USAir + DAL = ~24%

I would not think it would be too big in the eyes of the DOJ.

Keep in mind Northwest holds the key to any Continental moves. In fact, I think a Northwest and Continental merger would make good sense.

I would think that UAL may be interested in Alaska.
