Makes it that much harder to get by the regulators, although it could also be that the next four years is a rare "anything goes" window.
I agree. While I'm not a fan of the incoming political path we're taking, I also don't believe it's going to be "Do whatever you want" when it comes to regulatory stuff. UA made a big stink when we tried to move into Newark, imagine their reaction if AA or DL wanted to buy us. For our own careers I wish one of the big 3 would just buy us, but realitically I could see Southwest merger or something smaller, like Breeze. I would have loved a Hawaiian merger but I can't imagine that AK would be ready to make a big move like that while in the middle of their current purchase. That said, I don't know what I'm talking about and just throwing stuff at the wall hoping something sticks.
