US Airways - Delta Merger News Update

So, I wonder how much chinese takeout and pizzas have been delivered down in Texas to both the AMR and CAL headquarters as they burn the midnight oil... coming up with a counter offer/merger offer for DAL + NWA
 
Ineresting stats from press release(USA Today):

"According to the analysis:

•Six Eastern airports that now have competition would be served exclusively by the combined airline: Wilmington and Fayetteville, N.C.; Florence, S.C.; Huntington, W.Va.; Lynchburg, Va.; and Augusta, Ga.

•In 25 Eastern and Southern airports, where neither carrier now provides more than 50% of the service, the combined carrier would become dominant by providing more than half of the capacity. Among them: Asheville and Greensboro, N.C., and Charleston, S.C., Mobile, Ala., and Richmond, Va."


And it was not that many years ago that US was the only carrier in some of those markets. (AVL, HTS, LYH, FAY)
