不做 美联航（UAL.US）
报道披露的是去年已终止的初步合并接触，没有现行交易、条款或监管推进，无法形成正期望同向交易。
不做 达美航空（DAL.US）
达美仅曾审阅合并提议且已停止推进，当前事件不改变短期收入、利润或并购概率到可交易程度。
不做 美国航空（AAL.US）
文中涉及的美联航与美国航空合并想法也已被拒绝且未推进，只是行业整合背景，不做。

关键理由
- 报道披露的是去年已结束的初步合并接触，不是正在推进的新交易或监管里程碑。
- 双方未进入实质谈判且已决定不继续，无法形成对美联航（UAL.US）或达美航空（DAL.US）的同向可执行并购交易。
- 大型航司合并即便重启也会面临高强度反垄断审查，本条仅更新行业整合背景。
主要风险
- 若后续出现正式重启谈判、董事会授权、监管预沟通或交易条款披露，应作为新事件重新研判。

United Airlines (UAL) quietly explored a merger with Delta Air Lines last year, but preliminary discussions between the two carriers ended without progressing, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
United (UAL) CEO Scott Kirby approached Delta (DAL) CEO Ed Bastian about a potential merger, and Delta reviewed the proposal before both companies ultimately decided not to pursue the discussions. Neither airline had previously disclosed the talks.
A merger would have combined the two most valuable U.S. airlines. The Journal reported that United and Delta generated more than 90% of the airline industry's profits last year, making any deal a likely target for close review by federal regulators and state attorneys general.
The report also underscores Kirby's broader interest in industry consolidation. Bloomberg previously reported that he had separately raised the idea of a merger with American Airlines (AAL) during a meeting with President Donald Trump, although that proposal was rejected and did not advance.
For investors, the report highlights continued interest in consolidation among major U.S. airlines, even as regulatory hurdles make large-scale mergers increasingly difficult. Any combination of United (UAL) and Delta (DAL) would likely have faced intense antitrust scrutiny given the carriers' dominant position in the industry.
The United-Delta discussions ended after the initial exploratory stage, with both companies moving on from the idea, the Journal reported.
