Please don't punish the new people. The staple was bull. But I was in highschool...
I bet the TWA guys would find it the most funny. |
This thread is yet another example, but yet one of many, why airline pilots make horrible airline CEOs. Incoherent babble. You all should invent a monopoly based airline board game. Let’s call it “Blue Star, We’re Going After The Majors”.

A board game would be great!
Start with a pile of cash and first to zero wins! Then at periodic times throughout the game we have new players join with fresh piles of cash or even live black swans to kick over the board. |

The premise of the article was that the fed will in fact allow (and possibly fund) mergers under dire economic circumstances, which would not fly otherwise. It gave some examples from '08.
I don't really see mergers between the big four, but I do agree that the trust-busters would might take a pass under the circumstance of catastrophic industry disruption. During the banking crisis (2008), Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, urged Bank of America to purchase Merrill Lynch to avoid a global meltdown. Are we there? That's left to interpretation by those with a higher pay grade. |

“Welcome abroad, this is your TWA President speaking. I will be flying you out of Kansas City this morning to our next stop. Assisting me to today is Paul Richter, your TWA Executive Vice President, and fellow Captain. Should we need an extra hand, our owner, Howard Hughes, is on board and stands ready to assist.” They were credited with turning TWA into a World Class Airline. |
