Delta acquisition of NWA almost finalized!

[michael707767]

Delta gives Northwest's shareholders stock in exchange for Northwest to give Delta's shareholders stock. Stocks swaps have never been how acquisitions are done. If this is not a merger, please explain to me how a merger is structured.

actually, almost all acquisitions are done with a stock swap. Do some research and see if I am wrong.

Whatever. Go ahead and quit, tough guy, if you think that the uniform is so gay. I didn't think so.


It IS an acquisition. That little fact DOES matter. It WILL be presented as such.

All your seniority are belong to us.

what are you trying to say non-stop?

Its a play off a Japanese video game that made a poor translation to Engrish.

"All you base belong to us" I'm sure you have seen:

What's your point and how does it make any difference at all to the line pilot? The idiots on Wall Street can call it anything they want but to us it's a merger of operations.

Thank you.

For those that don't get it here's a hint:

Show me the money in any filing of DAL purchasing NWA. Good luck finding it. It's going to be a swap stock. The only spoils going to victors are WS M&A lawyers and the CEO's.

 

[~~~^~~~]

Can't say "all the spoils." After all, pilots are getting some equity to make up for going to Vegas with their seniority.

It doesnt matter, its just something for the children on here to argue about. Gets pretty old doesnt it? __________________

We will present our cases, and a third party will decide. That way none of us are to blame. The American way. TIC

 

[Occam's Razor]

I understand both MEC's Acquisition Committees will present their cases in LA next week.

The lists will be merged...not acquired. That is what matters to us, the pilots.

The corporate event matters only to the dorks who believe they went "bankrupt" when their airline did.

Beware of small-weenied dinks who think the type of corporate transaction has bearing on the Arbitration Panel. (Hint: The Process LOA eliminates that possibility)
