Sorry, I am just telling you what I know, have seen, or suspect. I don’t sugarcoat, just give you what I got. WH, DOJ, and the DOT are hostile to any airline industry consolidation. There is still a relatively strong chance of UA or HA, but yes slightly more likely is independence. This industry is trying to gets its legs back underneath, post Covid. Things are definitely very dynamic, I think “zero change” always has the highest probability at a mature company. November will be here before you know it. We should have a contract, and that river card will turn, hoping for the best for all of us.
