American Airlines/US Air Merger
Posted by D. Daniel Sokol
The merger between American Airlines and US Air has been announced. I think that you will worry more about how often you will get a seat upgrade than you will if the American Airlines/US Air merger will be blocked on antitrust grounds. There are few direct overlaps. Given that DOJ allowed United/Continental, Delta/Northwest, and Southwest/AirTran in recent years, I think that this merger will go through. Maybe the parties will need to give up some slots.
