Seems like this merger will first and foremost be a bigger threat to Allegiant, Avelo, Breeze, and Sun Country—in terms of direct competition for both low-fare customers and pilots to fly those customers.
That said, having seen/seeing what Ryanair and other LCCs did to legacy business models in Europe, I’d never dismiss this combined company as a concern for UAL/other legacies.
