AA and US Merge?

[Maark767]

Thanks for the info, Mr. Arpey.

You're welcome.....
Been around AA long enough to know how they run their business. Watch and see!

Then, once and for all, AA needs to file already and move on....These analysts must all read each others reports and articles...
They are offering the SAME opinions like parrots.

The only thing that will appease these ilks are screwing employees, take their pensions and screw creditors.

But of course, leave the executives be!

I believe in the event of a merger some of the executives would be let go? (E?)

If UA/CO is an example, around half of the staff VPs and MDs would be at risk. Who stays depends entirely on who gets picked for the top VP slots. At UA/CO, it has been working out very much along pre-merger reporting lines. Where a CO VP was picked by Smisek to run an area, the UA people were more at risk, and vice versa.

I hope you're right. Not interested in merging.

I am not interested in a merger either. But the reality of the situation
might be totally different. I do believe that there is a very strong
chance that if AA files for bankruptcy US will at least try
to merge with AA.

I agree with you, I just don't want to see it happen. Merging AA and US might be good for investors/top management. Line workers? Not so much.

It would be a disaster for line workers. US has not even finish merging their
employees from the America west merger; you add AA to the mix
I can't even imagine the mess it would create.

As far as routes overlap AA/US will have no anti-trust problems
merging. There is practically no overlap flying.
AA- DFW, ORD, MIA, LAX,JFK
US-CLT, PHL,DCA, PHX
Each airlines has a minor operations in each others hub
so there wouldn't be any opposition from the government.

Assuming that the DOJ will eventually sign off on the slot swap between DL and US, there'll almost certainly be a requirement to divest some DCA slots before the DOT would approve an AA/US merger.

Have you check AA flight operations at DCA. It is almost non-existence
Recently AA traded some DCA slots with JetBlue for additional JFK
slots, making AA presence in DCA even smaller.
If AA/US did merge whatever they might have to surrender in DCA
will be minimum.

Yawn...not interested. Let AA clean up its own mess.
