I don’t have a dog in the fight, but I think it’ll end up being a big nothing-burger. Just a bunch of politicians validating their existence honestly. I mean just look at some of the names that are against it.
So a NK/F9 merger “could” hurt competition and “could” raise fares? Give me a break. What about the monopoly the Legacy carriers have in the Northeast where most of the money is? Is it not anticompetitive to hoard all those slots? They should investigate that too if a merger between NK and F9 into the 5th largest airline gives them that much heartburn.
