Will the Latest Airline Merger Mean Friendlier Skies?

The merger of United and Continental will leave the US with just four major airlines. Will the combined carriers stop losing money? Will they reduce passenger options and charge higher fares? Also, the FBI arrests a suspect in the attempted bombing of Times Square, and the US Supreme Court has closed its massive bronze doors to the entering public. They’ll still be used for exits.
