Show me the money

I really don't see how this will save any money.
The problem is fuel is up, fares are not. How will this increase fares?
They cut flights or even hubs and start ups will jump at the gates.
It will take a long time to get any economies of scale. Reminds me of Air Canada taking over Canadian. What a mixed bag fleet, dueling pilots, incompatible procedures etc Air Canada went bankrupt.

Seems like a deal only Wall Street would love.
