....if you want to reduce capacity while protecting core fleet assets for future deployment when revenue increases and fuel prices drop you do it by parking RJ feed from the various a'la carte providers used by both carriers....
 
If it did happen, I would think it will take at least 6 months to get approved and another 2 plus years to get the two companies together if not more. So for the next 2.5 years after it would happpen, the two airlines would most likely operate as seperate airlines like the AWA/Usair situation. I dont think there would be any furloughs since it would take awhile to get the list and company merged into one. Would DELTA keep the name or would it be NORTHWEST?

From someone who starts at NWA in a few weeks I hope you are right. Your rationale seems logical.

Unless the respective MEC's have met in secret and worked out a pre-packaged integration :bomb: In you're more likely scenario pilots continue to retire or otherwise attrite. I think the worst that will happen is hiring will slow and or stop as a way to shrink the groups, and stagnation will ensue. I think there is much more exposure for the feeders.

Amen. 100 seat a/c minimum everywhere, and less often. If the flying public doesn't like it, too bad, something's gotta give...
 
What happens to the Mesaba and Compass NWA flow thru if DAL buys NWA? Would DAL honor that previous agreement and have a flow thru to DAL from Mesaba and Compass?
