M&A News!
I would like for someone to do an in-depth analysis of the proposed Southwest Airlines/Airtran buyout! Other than many overlapping destinations, a low-cost approach to airline travel, what synergies are there? Don't they both pick one type of aircraft to ease maintenance and pilot qualification issues - yet each has chosen a different platform (737 vs. Super80)? This is great news for folks flying out of DFW and Atlanta.
