It will go up. That is the unfortunate reality of the situation. But, at the moment, they are losing money. Competition is great, but when it forces prices to be lower than what is sustainable, mergers are necessary.
You definitely don't understand the meaning of unprofitable. The vast majority of mass transit is unprofitable in the US. Who makes up the difference so the buses, subways and trains keep running? Local, State and Federal governments do in the form of subsidies. Who subsidizes those entities via tax revenue? Answer: the taxpayers. Surely you don't believe that putting an unprofitable airline in the hands of government will magically turn it from unprofitable to profitable or at least break even? It won't and the only way to keep it running will be for tax payers to pony up some money.
Ah, I get it now. From your circular argument I take it you agree with me, well, up until you speculate that the Govt couldn't do what they do in many, many instances. Run things at cost.
No, the question is nonsensical, hence the reference to Beck U.
Is your age related dementia kicking in at your advanced age?
Asking what part of the Constitution authorizes the federal government to nationalize something is hardly nonsensical.

But, as for your question, I didn't attend Beck Univ so that makes nonsense a bit more difficult to "prove".
