An AA/ US merger would create an exceptional company and a force to be reckoned with. They would be on par with delta and united. Plus, consolidation is good. It forces airfares higher, leading to higher profits, which leads to more pay for us.

It sounds like AA/US would spin AE off. Then they would compete and do the regional whipsaw dance

So does this increase or decrease the chances of a merger if APA gets a new contract/deal?

My guess is that if the TA is ratified, AA will exit bankruptcy as a stand alone carrier. However, Horton will now be seeking a US merger as the controlling entity, thus meeting resistance from Parker. Just my guess.

Early word is that APA caved on scope and pay. Skimpy raises, loads of 76-seaters and wide-open code sharing. If the early word is accurate, a new sales tour will begin to once again convince the pilots to lick a dogpoop lollipop.......only with frosting this time.
