Yes and yes. NK/F9 combined is still a small player with regards to overall market share and total size relative to other airlines, and both provide low cost travel compared to legacy counterparts, and still will going forward. AA is a mega player, viewed as less friendly by the DOJ to average consumers, made even larger with tie ups on the east and west coast. There might be resistance to F9/NK, but it will be minimal. That said, I think NEA survives scrutiny but may need some more divestitures.
