US Airways Said To Be Making Offer To Buy Or Merge With American Airlines; Industry Is Changing
Hoping to finally merge with someone, U.S. Airways is said to be putting together an offer to buy or merge with now bankrupt American Airlines. (www.thefloridanewsjournal.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
one way or another, we'd end up with three mega-legacies anchoring the three alliances.
I personally think it would be a disaster. See mine and some other comments below. It might work for a bit but I think in 2-3 years they'd be doing this same thing again.
There's this idea that they NEED to merge because everybody else is doing it... I don't see it happening in the near future at least. Again, if anything, I would expect it to be AA coming out of bankruptcy and taking over and obliterating US.
That may be what they are afraid of and trying to get them while they are down. Problem is, AMR ain't that far down.lol
like I said... a hot dog cart trying to "buy" Oscar Meyer...
LMAO!!!!!
That's funny!!!
As far as fleets go, this coudl cause AAL to cancel that huge A320neo order, as they'd be picking up A319s-A321s from AWE. How their B737NG(MAX?) order will unfold is another good question.
Bonus for them if they pick up CLT for a hub, giving them something between JFK and MIA. Once again, this brings into question DFW. It's still too early on how that will work out, but there has to be some anxiety down in Dallas right about now..
