It almost time for the "double breasted Horde" to trade in their uptight cooler than thou uniform for the NWA old school Shark Skin. Shark Skin and that 1950s charm, get ready......
General, do you ever sit back and wonder why you spend most of your time trying to defend your childish behavior on this forum? You think you're a "debater", you're nothing but a cocky individual that does nothing other than elevate yourself on some ER pedestal you've invented. If you want to post some articles and give your opinion on said article, great...that's what this is all about. But, YOU bring on the personal aspect of things by constantly belittling others. YOU bring it on yourself, you're NOT a debater...you're a little boy in a schoolyard. That is all i have for you.....

I sure hope so, with the salaries they're paying.the company anticipates a swing to profitability before year's end, Gadek said. http://www.marketwatch.com/News/Sto...x?guid={D9F01373-1DE7-4D0A-8E72-35C265117108}
The street seems to think that a merger will cause a reduction in flying at both airlines. It is a short term gain but that is what a merger of this sort is for. It will be messy and i will probably see friends furloughed.
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - AirTran Holdings Inc. would likely benefit from a Northwest-Delta merger, which would trim excess domestic capacity, reduce competition and open up time slots to some of the nation's busiest airports, the low-cost carrier's chief financial officer said on Tuesday.
In an interview with MarketWatch, CFO Stanley Gadek said Northwest and Delta are currently the No.1 and No. 3 airlines for route coverage between the markets AirTran serves.
A tie-up between the two would give the post-merger company a lot of overlapping routes to consolidate, reducing the number of seats while firming up airfares, and giving AirTran the opportunity to pick up some of their former customers.
Additionally, Justice Department trustbusters would likely require the new company to give up a number of its gates and time slots at major airports such as New York's LaGuardia and Washington's Reagan International, Gadek said.
"It wouldn't all come to us, obviously, but we could get some benefit from that and from reduced capacity," he said.
As for AirTran, the carrier isn't currently interested in consolidating, Gadek added.
Earlier Tuesday, AirTran reported that it narrowed its fourth-quarter loss to 2 cents a share, or breakeven after stripping out certain one-time charges.
Bookings have so far been solid in the first quarter, and the company anticipates a swing to profitability before year's end, Gadek said. See full story.
