It has been my observation that audits are triggered by a lot of income with very little tax paid, or paperwork discrepancies.

Ya' know ... the DOJ filed suit because, gasp, 69% of the slots at Regan National would be owned by UA/AA.
Love this nugget dug up by the Dallas Morning News.
So, UA/AA's 69% is bad, but darling Southwest's 93% is good? Or is the DOJ just pandering ....

Good point. Depending on your schedule, you don't want to be pressured to try to make a Delta trip when weather is a factor.

One lucky bastard... why land on the nice field or 4 lane road when you can fly right into a tree?

With the new contract it only puts you at the top of the group your in and bucket. Example. Your good for 4 days and your in bucket 2. It only puts you on top for a 4 day in bucket 2. If there are guys on bucket 1 that's good for a 4 day they will get the trip even we you requested it and they did not. Needs to be fixed. You want the trip and can't get it.

So with all the latest airline merger resistance from the DOJ, does anyone think our chances of acquiring/merging with anyone have now decreased?
I don't think our current management team would take on such a (dare I say) endeavor if it didn't think it could get through all the regulatory hurdles. I'm sure it all comes down to money and greasing the right wheels in Washington, but how much time, energy, and money are we willing to spend on it.
That being said, I think AA/US will eventually get approved after divesting and negotiating something out.

I agree that AA and USAir will go through once they have bowed to the powers that be.
As far as Ak or Hi, look at the route overlap to foresee any big issues.
Btw, does anyone have a clear picture on what the sticking point is on the VA Dal production balance issue. I want to email my reps, but don't entirely understand that one. Is this just a case of management playing scope hardball?
