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.
