Airline mergers not good for passengers

No airline mergers are not good for the travelling public. Less competition leads to less services for consumers, and even the ones you do get they charge you for, like bag fees. Southwest has always had a different model to their business, they do not seem to follow the "me too" approach, and they have always been profitable. I own one airline stock and Southwest is it. They don't try to gobble up routes by expanding into areas just because some other airline services it, they pick and choose routes and airports where they can maximize profits by filling planes and minimizing fees.
