Your thoughts on the future of American and US Airways

[Golden Falcon]

AA should....buy the mess, merge the west, sell the East to Mesa, Pakistan, whoever...

The Feds want DCA slots to be given up, but the politicians want whoever gets them to keep service to small cities, which is what Parker said wold be first to go. I also have no doubt UA and DL greased palms in attempt to stifle a double TATL threat from a PHL/JFK combo.

The various states are for the most part AA or US strongholds and they want a promise that their interests will remain status qou or that the get a huge check from Dougie to make up lost tax revenue.

UA and DL want this deal to go through.

if us airways can't merge with AMR, then it should buy Hawaiian.

Interesting article.

I figured he'd have to postpone this until something could be resolved.

The more I look into the DOJ suit the more holes are poked into it. It's looking more and more like they filed this lawsuit when they did because they were running up against the clock. That is why so many people are scratching their heads as to their reasoning.

Also Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly the judge that will hear this case ruled in favor of Microsoft in their trial back in 2001. Reading her profile she seems like a straight to the point judge that will not drag this out long and she will expect certain things from the Doj which I don't think they will be able to provide.

In all likelihood this probably won't even head to trial. I expect a settlement before the end of September. This is either the biggest game of chicken or the doj has been taken over by some idiots.

I think now that the shell shock has worn off from the filing more and more people are analyzing this suit.

Of course it has! It's run by Eric Holder.

I think there will be an agreement. Make sure to buy LCC before it goes through and make some $$$. Just make sure you put in a stop in case there is no agreement.

Green light on all items. Waiting for the DOJ.
