I think the success of the new super Delta is going to cause some other carriers to reconsider the case for mergers. Midwest already found out the hard way what happens when they tried to fend off a merger. Hopefully Continental learns from that mistake and makes the smart decision to merge before the new super Delta tears them apart.
And with whom do you suggest it would be 'smart' for CAL to merge with? Carriers need to be profitable before they 'tear' anything apart.
