Delta Explores Possible Bid for US Airways
"Delta Air Lines is signaling that the consolidation of the United States airline industry is not over...Delta’s interest in US Airways comes a few days after both airlines separately began exploring a possible tie-up with American Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy protection in November."

Either way, I would think that over the next couple of years US will disappear into one of the majors, if they make it that long. With DAL and AA both having a strong NE presence, I kinda think Philly will be left out in the cold. That said, I think KATL is about out of growing room, at least to the point of handling more traffic and DAL is going to have to look at something secondary just to relieve pressure and KMEM or KCLT would fit if they did it right. If it were to be AA, I think KCLT would make a good reliever hub for KDFW. I know they had KBNA for awhile but this being further East might work.
Are going to only one airline (consisting of all of the old majors) in the USA? When all these mergers have to stop in order to maintain something resembling competition? The only airline I don't think will still exist is Southwest. So, you have Southwest and the winner of merging the majors (winner to be determined).
Please government, DO NOT allow any more Airline mergers. Prices will be through the roof.
I really don't think you'll see another merger. I personally think US will fold up and the rest will just pick the bones.IMHO.lol
AWE is pretty tied to Charlotte due to the construction of the 3rd runway. I don't see them pulling out or even way back from CLT.
