While it’s still “rumors” and speculation, a potential merger between United Airlines and American Airlines will without a doubt hurt everyday consumers in the mid to long term.
We know we’re going to be left holding the bag of even more expensive flights, smaller seats, and getting penny pinched with fees for every inch, carry on, checked bag, snack and probably even water or bathroom usage.
Will this inevitably happen / get approved or can we somehow stop it?
United Airlines + American Airlines

I don’t think this would happen unless American ever finds itself in bankruptcy
This is an odd place to ask this as stock holders (this forum) would likely want to see this go through to raise the stock price.
Isn’t this the wrong sub??
It won’t happen if you (or someone) pay Trump more than they pay Trump.
Anti-trust won’t let this happen. Didn’t JetBlue and Spirit merger get blocked?
Much prefer AA. This would be horrible.
You don’t know anything yet, there is nothing to oppose. We don’t know how many gates the merged company would agree to give up, what consumer protection they would need to agree to. If the government was able to successfully argue that Spirit was better bankrupt than merged with JetBlue it would be tough for this deal to go through.
If they would r approve JetBlue, no one will approve this.
As someone who lives near a United hub, they really know how to milk the system and their passengers.
I follow aviation a lot. This imho is United trying to make a play for JetBlue. Start with floating American. Than go for JetBlue.
