I would hate to see the financial results if they were doing a very bad job as an airline..... Why do I have the feeling that there is going to be another round of mergers....with only a compounding of the financial woes. Bring in some rational fare structures, treat customers like you actually want their business, and get rid of employees who think "service" is a verb involving private body parts. You wouldn't find an empty seat on those airplanes!! But would such a thing actually occur?? Good question. Which US airline is the most likely to actually do that? And which would be the least likely. My votes - American and United, respectively.
