That seems to be how corporate USA works to get ahead these days. Still, this increased 'leverage' could lead to good things in other ways so let's see what happens!

:rolleyes: The best way to create monopoly- Mergers. One of the largest countries in the world and only 3 major carriers in the entire country.

3 legacy carriers but plenty of other airlines. Southwest, spirit, Alaska, frontier, virgin, allegiant, JetBlue, etc, etc...
No shortage of capacity.
