Effect of proposed merger - should I be concerned?
I'm sure that you all will laugh at me and/or point me to a million similar threads, but....I've tried to keep up on the news, and I haven't really understood what's going on, so help would be appreciated.
I've never flown Midwest before, but have booked a group of our youth on Midwest from Milwaukee to Orlando in late July, returning August 2nd. Should I be concerned about the proposed merger affecting our travel plans? I'm guessing no, since it's pretty soon, but if the answer is yes, I need to start looking at that, since there will be few seats available at the last minute on the dates we want to travel (it's a large youth conference).
Thanks for your input!

Absolutely nothing will happen that quickly, even if the Midwest board concedes. Airline mergers take months just to get started and years to finish. We can only hope this one will go quicker and smoother than US Airways/America West, which has been an unmitigated disaster by all accounts.
