OK, so where do we go from here? 1.. Chap 11 followed by massive layoffs and broken unions - 558 pilots from TWA laid off at AA will keep the supply/demand ratios for US pilots in limbo; maybe every flight attendant over 40 retires/early pension (this might be a good thing) 2.. Foreign flags buy 24.9% of US partners? LH buys UA to protect Star? (would cost under 100m euros) 3.. Massive consolidation follows - down to 3 majors? Yes, one would be SW! 4.. Horrible fare increases along with sharply curtailed schedules - huge fleet retirements, esp. MD80s, 744, 767, 733, 734, 735 & nobody in the US touches the F100s 5.. Followed by lots of startups using MD80s and 733s by the score 6.. Then we can pay $1,000 coast to coast on a 757/767 (non stop) or $500 on a narrow body with at lead 1 stop This is so depressing. Any input?
