I'm a college student in AZ and I'm just wanting to hear input from some veterans and FT experts on what may happen with the upcoming US/AA merger.

With US & AA merging, what do you think is going to happen to PHX? With US dominating T4 and AA a majority player in T3 South, I can't help but worry about a substantial cutback in gates, destinations, and flights. Not to mention the operational blow of moving HQ from Tempe to Texas.

PHX getting cut back would batter Tucson wouldn't it? I know AA & US were fairly large players in the TUS market and I feel like consolidation of two airlines is gonna drive prices up even further.

I don't even know what questions to ask, I'm just looking for insight.

Maybe as a silver lining, does anyone think VS might get their act together and throw AZ a bone?
