Stagnation or reduction? You tell me my friend.
No, we would have been fine with our lower costs absent the merger. We had competed quite well with SWA for all those years. The only time we really lost money was the 747 program and that's what put us into ch11. We made money during the CH11 process and after until 9/11. Then we made money again.
Also, without the US Airways merger we would have been available to merge with anyone else, which would have been vastly preferable.
