Huh interesting question - how about this? What would happen if the country of Albania bought FedEx, UPS and JerBlue and merged all 3?

Vernor Vinge imagined it to be UP/Ex in his near-future sci-fi book "Rainbows End".

Instead of the companies merging, how about what would happen if the two pilot groups merged and the 'duopoly' had to negotiate with contractors from one independent labor organization?
