		<description>So far, I&#039;ve not noticed any problems with &quot;seamless&quot; travel or competition. I generally get where I&#039;m going just fine......

We&#039;ve had far too many mergers and combines lately.....I&#039;m for bringing back strict anti-monopoly laws. 

I&#039;m with you Charlie, this looks like another legalistic end run around our regulatory system, sick at that system is right now.......  It will most likely mean the end of competition and the airlines will go down the way newspapers are going.,..,maybe the last company flying will be called the USAToday Airline. 

I;d like to know who is behind this idea....... what a way to bring all airline employees into one company and tell them all to work for what;&#039;s being offered go find work in some other industry..... 

Let&#039;s hope the EU shoots this one down and our govt gets the moxie to do the same..... but I ain&#039;t holding my breath.</description>

		<description>I agree with you Charlie - I think the alliances are ultimately anti-competitive and in the long run, we, the consummers will pay the price.

But here is another view from AA - published in Business Travel News yesterday.
