My guess is three. US needs to either REALLY grow to compete, shrink to not get smooshed, or get bought up.

However, the screams of "anti competitive" from the "watchdogs" might stir up congress to stifle the mergers as in the past.

It ain't over 'till the jets get painted.

If it does all come to fruition, then you'll see "fleet rationalization", which sucks for all flight crew positions....
