I’d be interested in seeing the HHI calculation for this merger.

According to Wikipedia, the HHI is basically the same as the Bart Simpson Diversity Index.
Thus speaks the breadth of my expertise in economics.

I had to learn all about it in my Health Law class.

“When you take our general administrative incompetence and integrate it with our new partner’s long-proven inability to meet flyers’ needs in any capacity, you’ve got a brilliant new model in passenger aggravation and travel plan disruption. This truly will be the leading entity in the hassle industry.”

I flew to the University of Illinois twice last year via American/American Eagle (they're the only airline that flies there to my knowledge.)

When I went there about a week and a half ago I just flew Southwest to Chicago and drove the remaining 2.5 hours each way. I had to drive through a snowstorm on my way back and it was still less of a hassle than all the delays, getting stuck in the middle-middle seat of a 767 going to DFW, and having to check, reclaim, and re-gate check bags.

Flying into Midway for St. Pat's. Love looking down on final and thinking 'we're gonna drag our gear through those roofs.'
