That's a big IF, but should a merger go through, it will lead to a very interesting network. AA Hubs at ORD, DFW,NYC, MIA & LAX. USAir Hubs are in PHX,PHL,CLT. Not sure I'd change anything in that if I was running the new airline. I could see CLT losing transalatic feeder traffic to DFW or MIA. PHX may pick up more south/ central american flights. I think a combined AA/US would have a better network in the west and southeast then AA does now. USAir would benefit from AA's South American routes.
The really interesting thing is which airline alliance would a combined AA/US fall into - Star Alliance or One World?
