Word has it that the NWAMEC started to hear the proposal and then the MEC chair stopped the presentation at "DALPA thinks....."

Delta Air Lines Inc. and Northwest Airlines Corp. have spent the last week readying their long-delayed merger announcement, with the aim of unveiling it as early as Tuesday, said people familiar with the matter.
They could go ahead without the support of Delta's 6,000 pilots. Delta and its pilots remained in talks over the weekend on a new post-merger contract that would cover that group only, leaving negotiations with Northwest's 5,000 pilots for a later day, these people said.

Just rumors so not taking it for much...

But, for conversational sake, I can't bid your whales or 787s yet you NWA folks CAN bid my 777, count me as a NO.

CNN, Wall Street Journal reporting it's a done deal to be announced Monday.

DAL MEC IS tighter than a submarine hatch as well.....

More than they have been, and that is something to talk about.

Maybe I missed it:

How long are the fences on the 4 and 8?

What does 'some form of equity' mean? Same % for all?

Is there a catch on the equity so that if one takes it he has to stay flying for x years or can the top guys take the $ and run?

No furlough clause?

Devil is in the details

Ah. Right. Merger announcement expected tomorrow....
