I have heard that United and Continental are talking about a merge, as well as American and Northwest, and US Airways and Delta. If they decide to merge, so that there are only 3 traditional carriers instead of 6, what will this do to jobs within the companies? Ticket prices will be higher because of less competition, so will that make pilot pay/benefits go up? Also, will there be more jobs available?
What will be the changes to the airline industry if these merges do in fact occur?
