American Airlines, US Airways Merger Talks Start
The companies said Friday they signed legal documents allowing them to confidentially exchange information. But a deal is still far from reality. (apnews.myway.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Merging two of the world's worst airlines will create what? An airline with no employees or passengers!
Wow is this a deal that is going to be far lower than heavenly for both passengers and employees of both Airlines. Even if the AA name and livery survive the merger, U.S. Air's management style ranks up there with that of the now defunct Northwest Airlines.
That is an understatement. Parker is just trying to cover his butt but I personally think if there is a way for Tom Horton to bring it out independent, he will. Personally, if BA comes in for a 25% stake, it will be better for all and give AMR a cash infusion that would be put to good use.
I agree. AA and BA already code share, letting BA invest is the next step and I believe as you do the right step for the airline, its employees and the flying public. U S Air will one day be absorbed into another airline. Possibly Alaska or Hawaiian when either is ready to grow. My bet is Hawaiian when they decide to grow onto the mainland.
If I were doing the planning I would merge or take over U. S. Air into Hawaiian, give up the European routes in exchange for the more lucrative Pacific Rim markets which Hawaiian is already growing. This to me is a much better fit for both airlines. Just saying.

That is all good thinking and a very viable solution. Problem with it is that it would require some common sense and logic to make it all happen and those 2 things are in real short supply these days.
I heard that US Airways is gonna keep AA's livery, name, and move their HQ to Ft. Worth, Texas.
