I for the life of me cannot see getting DOT or DOJ approval for B6. I can see us buying parts of a tie up with AMR, and parts of LCC. If they do go for it, we will go for their parts, and then for AS. HI's stock will get hit, and make them a even larger buyout target.
I too cannot see LaHood & the gang or the DOJ giving the nod for a B6 marriage, but it is way less toxic then UsAir & way less expensive then AS. Not sure how it'll work, but I just can't believe further consolidation isn't on the way.
