Your thoughts on the future of American and US Airways

[sean67]

I was totally deflated yesterday of the news from the DOJ. So, what's next?

1. Goes to court...merger denied

2. Parties get together with divestures...slots, routes ,spliting up US east and west and they individually merge with either AMR and another carrier..etc

3. Goes to court and approved with minor changes.


After listening to Robert Crandel on Bloomsburg this morning, I was happy to hear him slam the DOJ in them approving other carrrier mergers and cutting the legs off of AMR and LCC. Airlines are not a utility, but our industry is constanly treated as such....chime in!

If you were totally deflated why even post and keep it going?? Funny, yet sad. Kind of like getting tit-fuked by a clown.

I think there is still plenty of chance for the merger to push forward, but DOJ exact large concessions.

We'll have a clearer picture by December.

Has this happened to you? The analogy is lost on me.

This is one of the strangest (and funny) comments I've seen on here!

Yeah... as a little boy. The sound of carnival music still haunts me.

The merger will still go through. Torrow Lane will approve the merger. This will not go to court and will be settled out of court by divesting routes from DCA. Hostilities and posturing from DOJ and Parker caused this to escallate. Parker tried to give up no slots that would cause price destabilization. Politicians in DC want to keep fares low for their minions an make a stand to show the public how they are looking out for the little guys but in reality hurt those very same low paying jobs. Morons - Holder and others have no clue about buisness and the huge impact from all the people they harm. What a cluster.

The merger will procede and tomorrow the court WILL approve the merger. The DOJ can't unillaterally stop a merger and is a misnomer. This will all be settled by year's end.
