I'm not for or against the AirTran merger with Southwest. I am just watching and waiting to see how this all pans out. As for the stockholders not happy with the offer... I read somewhere there might be a lawsuit. I'm not sure why since the online story was vague. Also there was a story posted that several routes now served by AirTran and Southwest will become "monoply" routes. So the DoJ might have concerns that Southwest may have to come up with a solution before a merger is possible.

If this merger happens, I think Frontier will be able to capitalize on new opportunities at MKE. So as the old Midwest Seat Commercial goes "Sit back, relax and stretch out." That is what I am doing.
