Why American Airlines appears ripe for acquisition
As American Airlines seeks to slash jobs and pensions to help steer its way through bankruptcy reorganization, rival carriers are eyeing it, looking at whether they should buy the struggling airline. (travel.usatoday.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
This is a tough one for me. I really hope that the American Airlines brand isn't lost in a merger, however perhaps a merger is for the best? Sadly no matter what the future holds for this great airline the employees will suffer the most.

Just curious. How do you fly for an airline not having an ATP. Your profile says commercial. Just Curious

Why would DL dehub SLC? if they were going to do that, I don't they would've made the investment in the new SLC terminal that is slated to begin in 2018
Actually, if you look at http://www.slcairport.com/cmsdocuments/TRP-1-17-12.pdf (page 29 of the PDF), you will see that DL does not have a commitment in place yet. It may have a LEASE, but leases can be rejected in bankruptcy for a 15% penalty...
What I have never figured out, I guess it was in the bankruptcy, is why they dehubbed KDFW. They were there from day 1 I think, and I really think that they are making a mistake in not trying to keep the old NWA hub at KMEM alive as opposed to try and shovel all into KATL which is at capacity. AA is already making inroads now from KDFW to KATL and doing pretty good with it although the arrival of SWA will be interesting. The measure on it all will be how much is local and how much is connector. Either way it goes, I don't see DAL dehubbing SLC, BUT, anything is possible
It wouldn't make sense for DL to dehub SLC when it's there only hub in western United States. Delta may have a lot of flights into LAX but it isn't a hub according to their website http://news.delta.com/index.php?s=18&cat=47 but I can see CVG going away since they JFK ATL MSP and DTW in the area. I misspoke on DL at SLC, sorry about thanks for the correction. I doubt the AA brand is going anywhere and I doubt AA is going anywhere, I think they'll come out on top but they'll have to make some serious changes.
CVG is pretty much gone. It is not a shadow of it's former self, as is KMEM. If it wasn't for FedEx, KMEM would be dead. ComAir killed CVG when they thumbed their nose at Furloughed DAL pilots during the bankruptcy and ASA has reaped the rewards.
