Delta Explores Possible Bid for US Airways
"Delta Air Lines is signaling that the consolidation of the United States airline industry is not over...Delta’s interest in US Airways comes a few days after both airlines separately began exploring a possible tie-up with American Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy protection in November."

AWE is pretty tied to Charlotte due to the construction of the 3rd runway. I don't see them pulling out or even way back from CLT.
Well, they probably won't own their own, BUT, whether they will survive or not in the future is a whole 'nuther story. I really doubt they'll find a dance partner and the problem will be if they are financially strong enogh to withstand competitive pressures. AA, even in bankruptcy, is stronger than they are and if them or any other Airline wants something they have, it would be cheaper to just cut the rates, take a loss for a few months, and take the traffic. US is survinving right now but any major financial hit would kick them to the brink.IMHO
Government has no business interfering with the private sector...period. The airline industry have suffered and been inflation proof for too many years due to market saturation. If the government feels that that cheap ticket prices are too important to the economy to allow mergers, they can subsidies the industry instead of handicapping it.

To be honest, I'd hate to see US fold. I think a merge with AA might be OK. I would not want to see a merge with DL.
US is (IMHO) the best airline serving KCMH. And I think in a merge with AA, they could utilize KSTL a lot more than they do now.

American and Delta are a much better fit than either AAL and AWE or DAL and AWE. I personally don't see how either American or Delta would benefit from a merger with AWE. I wonder how accurate all of these merger reports over the last few weeks are???
Two other things to remember, first no matter who merges with who the employees of the airlines will suffer. Secondly DAL just merged with NWA, are they really in a position to merge again?
Also if it comes down to two majors AAL/DAL and UAL/COA there will still always be completion on most routes and the airlines will still need to price themselves to fill planes.
