Merger rumors?
It's an interesting rumor. I think it may fit Southwest well, but it may hurt Delta more. Delta would have a huge hole in the map if the Alaska code shares went away, American to a lesser extent.
But honestly, after seeing this AirTran merger, I don't think Southwest acquiring Alaska is in the consumer's best interest.
