I would think AMR would prefer to be done with AS. Everyone says they'll merge and shrink, but why shrink if you can turn assets towards the west coast and undercut or knock out AS with a price war. And when I say knock out I mean force them into a merger to survive. If Delta helps you out and draws down AS just slightly then all the better. So maybe PHX has a purposepost merge and this is USAir which is usually the lowest priced ticket you can find when trying to talk someone out of a budshe pass.Originally Posted by dalad
Don't hold your breath here, but from what I've heard is that the code share with AS could be falling like a house of cards over their agreement with AMR. If you want to talk to a po'ed pilot group, it's the AS pilots over all the code sharing.
We had a friend ask I'd for one to go LAX to MCO for funeral, most of USAirs prices were with twenty dollars of a buddy pass. SWA was $200 over the actual Delta ticket price and Delta was non stop.
Just a thought, minding of shooting from the hip.
