You're taking what I said far too seriously, sir.
Nevertheless, having been through some corporate mergers I can tell you that the merged corporation's policies that emerge leave the combined employees (and customers) of each in a condition that's WORSE FOR THEM than thire status quo ante.
One issue that's already been discussed is what's going to happen vis a vis Star Alliance andOne World. Do you think one of 'em's just going to vanish after the merger?
It's almost a certainty that a lot of people are gonna get screwed.

Don't expect much from an airline and you won't be disappointed. You get a seat just like on the bus. If you actually get to destination you got what you paid for.
And you know what? Boil it all down to the very basics, and that's exactly right. You're paying to get from here to there. The flying public has been spoiled for so long it's lost sight of that fact.
If pampering is what you're after, mass transit probably isn't the answer. Basically the airlines do a pretty good job. People just seem to want it to be like it was when flying was mostly for the wealthy. Not gonna happen. $200 ticket or $10000+ charter w/pampering.
Has USAirways really digested the effects of the combination with America West yet. They're piling more things together, sounds crazy.
