If anti trust weren't an issue, the best merge in the industry would be dal/amr. They would own the world with very little overlap. It will never happen unless amr is pieced out. The thing that should concern all amr employees and stakeholder is dal making a run at lcc.

Yes, DAL/AA would practically be AMERIFLOT. As far as DAL/U, that would be interesting. I suppose they could make good use of the west, but the east would give them a hub in practically every east coast city and too much control of NYC. They'd have to relinquish a bunch of NYC and streamline the entire east coast operation.

Nothing would surprise me at this point.

Regardless of what happens in any of the scenarios above, it is very probable US Airways will not exist five years from now.

I think that is very plausible, Catciboss. In fact, I'd bet DAL pursuing US would be more successful than AA+US; but, DOT/DOJ will have to be satisfied, so US will have to dump some assets...to AA or UAL probably!

Why is that? As a standalone airline, they're profitable and rank pretty high in most performance metrics.

It has nothing to do with performance now. Usair will be gone because it will merge with someone in the near future. Amr management is simply out of their minds, why would you shrink and wait to merge outside of bankruptcy? crazy.
