now, we've not heard back from u.s. air and american. i would expect that they're obviously going to have a vigorous fight in court over this. one question that did come up on this conference call was whether or not there have been discussions about, hey, listen, can we give up slots out of d.c. reagan where they would control 63% of the nonstop flights? is there some kind of solution that would allow the merger to go through. the doj said we're not going to detame past discussions but the fact we filed this suit in conjunction with attorney generals from six states, that's an indication they believe the only solution here is to block this merger between u.s. air and american. we're going to hop back on the call but the wloobottom line is doj is pressing through and that this should be blocked. >> phil lebeau in chicago. this has been a crash and burn already for investors. you included. >> absolutely. i still had half my position in american. but, ouch, this is painful. >> at a time when everybody is singing the praises of the financial

just heard back from u.s. air and amr within the last hour, both of them saying, hey, we're going to fight this doj suit to block us. they are issuing a statement saying we'll mount a vigorous defense and pursue all options in order to achieve this merger to give a better american to our customers and our communities as soon as possible. in the last hour, in a letter to employees at u.s. airways ceo doug parker says the companies will not merge in the third quarter. that's going to be pushed out for a while. he says the doj is wrong in its assessment. he goes on to say we will fight them. well, the doj has a different opinion. it says that this is an uncompetitive move for the airline industry. the doj saying we determined that the merger would substantially lessen competition for commercial air travel throughout the united states. importantly neither airline needs this merger to succeed. we simply cannot approve a merger that would result in u.s. consumers paying higher fare, higher fees and receiving less servic

and it is really quite surprising because to me yes, we hear of u.s. airsumers, but is directly it is not a good business. our lines are not earning good margins. not different than some prior mergers that have been approved. i am fairly surprised that the doj is going out with this particular combination. liz: and so in the end the think this will go through, even when you have some six states plus d.c. and the burden of justice saying, no weight. we are convinccd this is a no go. >> i think it will go through. there will no doubt be confessions made. that is normal. the government will look for its pound of flesh. in particular with reagan national airport and d.c., there will be a very heavy concentration with usair having to is there already, but ultimately this deal makes sense, and the facts are really cheap. when you look at something like delta, six are seven times earnings, strong balance sheets, a tremendous cash flow, initiated. so for the sector as a whole the stocks look attractive. there are others that look good. we prefer del personally. li

and remember, the network airlines, the big players, american, delta, united, u.s. air have a large percentage of their passengers and departures with low labor cost regional partners contracted out services. this is a major restructured airline industry, and they have great incentive to keep fares down. >> on that point, though -- but i want to make sure i understand clearly. you're saying that yes, fares could go up some, but they need to because right now the airlines can not cover their costs with capital. and that means what. >> they can invest in new fuel efficient aircraft that burn 25% less fuel, have less maintenance cost and more reliable and better for the customer and those efficiencies equal lower cost. >> mr. alioto, what do you say to all of that? >> i think that mr. cordle is mistaken in a lot of major ways. there have been substantial reduction in capacity, of course. that, of course, is because of the consolidation. there have been substantial cuts in departures and availability. he's wrong about the prices. they've been increased seven times. >> he di

we have had delta continental, southwest and now u.s. air/american. division to look at this more closely. they were armed with public documents as well as internal memos that basically said the airlines involved u.s. air and americans, felt that if this merger happened it would benefit them. they would be able to raise prices. that was a big red flag. >> the companies say they overlap on only 12 routes. then there is this government audit that said that more than 1500 routes would be affected. why such a huge discrepancy. >> they only overlap on 12 nonstop routes. that was their public position. if those 1665 connecting routes -- by the way, in the airline business we live on connecting routes. that makes the difference. they could be subject to higher fares and less competition. if this merge he goes through those four american, united delta and southwest, would represent 80% of the total u.s. market and in some cases, like in the washington d.c. area more than 63% of one airport alone, washington/reagan. >>> usairways says we will fight them. how i

>> reporter: it is a problem, no mistake about it, jake, for the u.s. air force. this is an air force wing in montana, about 150 minuteman interintercontinental ballistic missile. they will not tell us exactly what "tactical errors" were made that led to the fail mark on the inspection. they say the nuclear weapons were always safe. but, jake, this is the second of three wings, there's only three nuclear wings in the u.s. air force, two of them so far this year, this is number two, have failed security and safety inspections, another one earlier this year at minot, north dakota. in that case 17 members of the military were removed from their positions after that wing failed. so the big question here, i think people agree the nuclear weapons are safe, that's what the air force tells us. no indication they're not, but are procedures just getting lax in the nuclear community? >> what does this mean for national security? >> what it means for the pentagon and national security is the worry that some of these procedures, that some of the personnel are just getting lax i
