merger

[not insane]

Is it possible that American Airlines merges with USAirways so that United has to be a stand alone in case of financial problems?

 

[FWAAA]

Sure, it's possible.

But if AA is going to merge with someone, I'd prefer an airline with a larger unrestricted cash balance than US has. Either CO or UA fit that bill. Both CO and UA have more Asian route authorities, more NRT and LHR slots, and more Boeing widebodies than does US.

In short, other than the powerhouse money-printing-machine CLT hub, what does US bring to the table?

USAPA?

This one is already off to a bad start.
