One could make strong arguments either way.
As an aside, I strongly suspect the entire industry will look quite different in 12 months so the combinations that don't seem plausible today could be possible then. And vise versa.
I think Airhoss nailed it and there will likely be another round of consolidation---we just don't know who is gonna hook up who and the circumstances.
I agree with cadetdrvr, the shotgun weddings are yet to be known. But I suspect some are going to happen. If nothing else some airlines are going to die and the bones will be picked over. I’m not 100% sure we aren’t on the terminal path at this point. Nothing surprises me anymore.
