Lets be clear here.. .If AA/BA goes through the ONLY benefit will be to management and share holders. Customers will have to pay higher fares and employees (pilots) will face loss of flying due to transfer to codeshare partner. BA pilots seem to be concerened that flying will be transfered to AA but historically it has been the other way around.. .We are steadily marching to the drumbeat of monopolization in just about every industrial sector there is. Aviation is no different. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
