Your thoughts on the future of American and US Airways

[Deadalus]

The DOJ is correct. Look at Delta and NWA, with their hyped up "this merger is good for everybody! jobs will be secured, no hubs will be cut" mantra. Memphis gone, Cincy mostly the same. If US Air and AA is approved, you can bet between PHL, CLT, or PHX, one of those will be chopped. There will be capacity cuts as the airline right-sizes itself. Long term, it will mean less jobs overall, less service to cities, and therefore less options for consumers. This merger doesn't make sense, nor did US Airways and Delta when Parker pushed his last dream that failed.

I'm a little out of touch with the goings on in the airline industry, but.........
Nothing you just posted falls under what the DOJ is supposed to be looking at.

I believe everyone should have access to good healthcare, but I wasn't a fan of how they did it.

15 million people didnt have healthcare before Obamacare and 10 million will still not have access to health care AFTER Obamacare. All the while it cost us $3 Trillion and caused an increase in taxes. TOTAL FAIL.

I think it falls under epic fail.

I made a prediction a while back that someday these merged airlines would be broken up. I didn't think it would be this quick, but that's the next step IMO. If this one gets blocked the outcry that follows will be break up DAL and UAL. (just like the Bells)

Remember 2000 when the average Congress member was saying "have you seen those salaries?" This isn't much different. These merged airlines will make money, and that is something this Country will not tolerate. Except one. And Uncle Sam will make sure they are profitable.

You may be right, but may I suggest a little more diplomacy. Unintelligent people rarely react well to having it pointed out that they are in fact.........stupid.

Jokes on you buddy, you're still stuck with your ********************ty contract and pay.


Stop whining like a bitch and relax, I'm sure it will go through soon

Just a stab in the dark here. Could the Texas side of it have anything to do with a little payback for "The Wright Amendment"?

Maybe, or you could google Jim Wright and see if that makes any sense?
