Actually, when you speak for "NYers" you mean "NYCers" and "NJers." As a Long Islander, the appeal of EWR is non-existent.
That said, I like the idea of a UA/DL merger for a few reasons:
- Creating a true domestic and international hub at JFK and continuing to have flights out of both JFK and LGA
- Tremendous international reach out of JFK
- Great FL service out of NY area
- Potential of improved IFE from the DL side
- Potential of E+ throughout the fleet over time from the UA side
- Hopefully domination of MP over Medallion, but in either case a likely preservation of GS (hopefully
)
- Nice integration between RCC and CR.
