Disaster in what way?
Both airlines continue to grow with fleet orders. It’s not like they would need less pilots with a merger. Obviously it’s something that would be really good for both companies, but as someone else pointed out earlier, it’s not like either one is at the brink of impending bankruptcy. Both companies are better suited to ride out higher fuel prices than many competitors.
In the end, the politics are all bluster, I just like pointing out to the Democrats I fly with who is trying to muck with their careers while Joe is busy fumbling energy policy.
