For those of us who fly from smaller regional airports with both carriers, I am sure we will suffer flight reductions. For example, TYS has CO, UA, US Express--wonder how long that will last once this alliance materializes? And Janice brings up an interesting point. What about the hubs of both carriers? Which ones will survive this cooperative relationship? Even though this is not a merger, it does feel a little like one.
