Former AMR CEO and chairman Bob Crandall


The man who guided American Airlines through actually profitable years, former chairman and CEO Bob Crandall, gave his two cents on why the Department of Justice was wrong on blocking the merger between American Airlines and US Airways.

He said that United and Delta are just two big now to compete with from the standpoint of American and US Airways.

American was once the largest airline, but has slid to fourth since after other airline industry mergers.

Later in the video Crandall also says that this may be the end of major airline mergers because there simply aren’t any large airlines left to merge with.
