Could you expand on this? Side question to the audience, will this merger "benefit" LCC and thus result in a rise in stock price or will it hurt the stock because (maybe this reason...) LLC is being "saddled" with various AMR issues.
Legit questions, I am working on my MBA and just finished a project on the airline industry and thus I am interested to hear the opinions.
