“While you have worked your way back, meanwhile sitting on the sidelines like a vulture in the night is US Airways. Let me tell you about them. Here is a company just coming out of bankruptcy with a merger that is problematic. They have two sets of pilots, two sets of reservations, two sets of fleets. That’s no way to run an airline. That is anti-consumer, anti-competitive and anti-American because US Airways buys their planes from a foreign country. There is no way we’re going to let this merger happen.”
