DA.C - View Single Post - American Airlines- US Airways Merger is a 'Go'

I wish I could agree - but when it comes to this Government in particular - I think the selling point will be the idea that one or two entities will be easier to influence and tax. Less probability of loss = greater probability of tax revenue. Like I said earlier - this is essentially a return to de-facto regulation, but with fewer pieces than before: with very little Government effort required. It's got to be attractive to them.
