As Mayor Pete said, we could end up with just Coke and Pepsi…. Never mind the fact that there are 4 that dominate the market, not 2, and the merger would create #5 which would still be half the size of #4…. Asked what they were doing to allow other airlines to compete on better footing for the consumer, he mentioned something about not allowing airlines to get too big by allowing mergers…. The horse is already out of the barn, Mr. Mayor!
