Regional Partners in the Wake of a Big Merger
With the recent announcement of a possible merger (aka.-hostile takeover) between the 2 legacy carriers US Airways and Delta their is bound to be a lot of changes that happen within the industry.
Suppose the merger goes through...
1. How will this affect the current RFP's out there from Delta?
2. How would such a merger afect the regional route structure... would there be less flying?
3. Would there be a positive or negative affect on the various regional partners for both carriers?
Just thought I would start some discussion. This could be a very difficult time for a lot of airline personel and their families with job consolidation and what not, so please share your thoughts.
