Under this california bill, the minimum wage will drop from 10 to 10 and 50 cents next year, and 11 and 2018. After that, it will rise one dollar per year through 2022. This applies to the entire state of california. Governor brown says of the higher minimum wage will help create a tiny balance in the system that is very unbalanced. There is a lot of anger going on in the president ial campaign. It may have many sources, but one of the sources certainly is the way the average american is being treated by this particular economy. The federal minimum wage has been 7. 25 an hour since a 2009. The new york legislation is more complicated, focuses on raising the minimum wage to 15 an hour in new york city and surrounding areas. The rest of the state would eventually get to that. This is all according to a schedule that has not yet been determined yet. Alaska air is buying Virgin America for 2. 6 billion and creating the fifth largest air carrier in the nation. The deal was announced today, when you add up all the financials, it is worth an estimated for billion dollars. Virgin america launch back in 2007, and is headquartered in burlingame, has grown rapidly and posted strong profits. 191million in just the last quarter. Alaska air was reported to be in a bidding war with jetblue to buy virgin making the merger the latest in a series of Airline Consolidations why sell the company that is doing so well . What is that me for passengers. With us now mitchell marks professor of leadership at the college of business on the author of joining forces, making one plus one equals three. In mergers and acquisitions. Mitchell, thank you for being with us today. Very happy to be here with you lets start without why would such a Successful Company sell itself . Why this merger . The short answer is the almighty dollar. Virgin was doing very well, whats unusual about mergers and acquisitions today. And i studied mergers and acquisitions for the last 24 years and i have been involved in about 100, as a consultant. Now, some companies are Getting Started just with the goal of being sold. To what happened, in this case, there was a 40 premium on Virgin Americas stock price. It is what you take years, in the regular stock markets for something to go up that much. The news here for Virgin America as they possibly could have had this is a strategy of just cash out, because i think they were doing well. I dont think that they really were seeking to get acquired like united and continental damper that was just reduced capacity. Alaska, with his dell, has a lot more slots in big states, california, texas, new york. If im an investor with alaska, and i look at that price tag 2. 6 billion, did alaska overpay for virgin . Well, the good news about the payment, as they stopped other people from putting in a bed. There was speculation that jetblue wanted to put a bid in also. Alaska put in such a high bed because i wanted they wanted to scare off and stop a bidding war. Only 25 of all mergers and acquisitions achieve their financial objectives. If i was in Alaska Airlines and shareholder, yes sir, i would be worried lets talk about passengers, what does this mean for people who fly the combined airline, i read, will have 1200 daily departures, aircraft hubs in seattle, San Francisco, los angeles, alaska and portland, oregon. To me, if you crunching the numbers of sounds like good news for passengers . Not so good news for passengers. There will be more service, that is true. But the problem here is both alaska and Virgin America were very, very good airlines. Both had very good reputations. Virgin america kind of hip, a loss got kind of friendly. That is going to give. The problem with mergers, and many executives do not look at this. They look at the numbers, but they do not look at the corporate cultures. Virgin america was all about its a laid laidback, hip culture, alaska is very efficient. You might think on paper you can get efficiency and hipness to work together. But it is not that easy. Everyone is used to their own way of doing things. The other thing we should worry about his airfares going up because Virgin America, especially in the bay area, held airfares now because they competed up against united on many routes. Now with Virgin America gone, united will have a clean state for raising airfares. This should be a win for passengers, but they are getting ready to pay up. I am afraid so. Alaska is wellmanaged, so hopefully there Leadership Team can be one of the 25 successful does alaska pay the plans, do they go with the virgin Business Model that has been successful . That hip model youre talking about . Alaska just updated its own logo in their own imagery they spent all that money. I would be a little surprised if they do not stay with their own. I think that is a huge part of their identity. I think we will eventually see the Virgin America logo fadeaway. Thank you.
