Mercato aviazione civile USA in forma eccezionale; le fusioni hanno ampiamente pagato, con buona pace di chi gridava alla morte della competizione e della deregulation!
Erano troppi e ora sono meno e tutti piu' forti; siccome l'onda lunga di cio' che succede negli USA arriva da questa parte dell'Atlantico sempre con qualche anno di ritardo, non resta che sperare che anche qui qualcuno muoia per incompatibilita' finanziaria (ogni riferimento e' puramente casuale...) o che eventuali fusioni generino realta' piu' forti sul mercato!
