........yes and stuff the customers, what do they matter ?

Your logic does not follow - if you stuff the customers, you will be left with no business......of course the customer matters.
Really ? So both companies merged for the good of the customer did they ?

There will be choice within the marketplace, in fact, plenty of it. I don't see hoiw that stuffs the customer? The range of opportunities that might develop from a combined group may well benefit the customer - new destiantions, more specialised holiday opportunities etc....

Time will tell, but a statement of it stuffs the customer seems wholely unsubstantiated..........
Totally disagree with this, its a monopoly and will hurt the customer IMO. We have all seen what likes of Tesco have done top the supermarket industry etc, why should this be any different ?
Use of regional airports will suffer as the big players will direct operations where is most suitable for them, NOT the customer. We have already seen that in the industry already, I expect that to increase.

Good news in the short term for new rivals such as Jet2.com and their holiday business, but how long before they get swallowed up as well ?
If you work for either of these companies then fair enough and good luck to you, but please dont try telling us how good it will be for the rest of us.
