This administration will be out in 13 months. Joe and his crusade will be out with a new DOJ in, all things change with a new DOJ on any mergers. I’m sure that is a huge consideration with HA and AK right now, taking a gamble a new DOJ will be in.
If we are ch7 which is unlikely yes the assets will go somewhere but there will be no integration. It will be apply and get hired.
Ch11 I don’t see a legacy acquisition ever getting approved. I think Frontier is the only future outside of JetBlue. Small bases with limited swapping available and will have to strike for any marginal raises.
As for a new DOJ. I have a strong feeling that if Trump is the nominee you will see Biden in for term 2. The republicans need to get their act together and figure out how to dump that guy as quick as possible.
