Gotta love the govt snooping and complaining about 2 airlines (efficient and profitable ones, minus covid crap) business decisions and what they want is always rich. The most fiscally irresponsible people trying to control and alter businesses from getting better. Merger or not, fares will be up because everyone is licking their wounds from...wait for it...when the GOVT shutdown travel and cost the airlines billions; not to mention crude over $120/barrel and climbing.
