I don't believe that any airline will be able to stand on it's own. There will have to be mergers or at least independent investors that will become parent companies, so to speak. Every major is in debt to their eyeballs...ual777fan said:Good lord, if it involves U or UA it is automatically a downer, but if it is NW then its the best thing that has ever happened to the airline industry. I appreciate loyalty to employers, its rare these days for good reason, but this is just ridiculous.
A merger between the two doesn't mean that both would collapse, nor does it mean they would both suceed. It would depend on how well the merger is implemented, how much money can be saved and how much more revenue can be generated. If done properly UA/U would a very competitive airline, if screwed up it would be Ch.7 for the combined airlines and their 80-90,000 combined employees.
