Continental and United close in on merger deal

I heard the first of this on CNBC this morning and then this posting.  Neither company’s website United Airlines or Continental Airlines has any information about the merger.  But I kind of saw the writing on the wall when Continental joined the Star Alliance last year based on the previous engagement talks from a few years ago that time with USAirways which joined the Star Alliance shortly prior to merger talks.

There are times when I would like to see the merger but I know it would mean higher airfares because there are fewer and fewer domestic airlines each providing less value for the higher tickets (no meals, shitty service, and a 8-oz. cup of soda down from a can that we used to get).

Oh well…, until Congress can allows international airlines to fly domestic flights we’ll probably be stuck with some very, expensive, limited domestic airlines.  For a country touting competition why can’t we open this limitation?
