From Forbes.Com:
PARIS (AFX) - Air France-KLM sees a joint venture with Delta Air Lines as a step toward the long-term goal of a single entity uniting Air France, KLM, Northwest Airlines and Delta, the daily La Tribune said, without citing sources.
It quoted Air France-KLM financial director Philippe Calavia as saying the Delta joint venture must await the US airline's emergence from bankruptcy protection, which he said would not be for 1-2 years.
In October, Air France-KLM chief executive Jean-Cyril Spinetta called for closer ties with US airlines. He said these would not involve equity transfers or merger agreements but would be based on the model of the close partnership between its KLM unit and Northwest.
Ok, so I maybe see a NW/DL merger, and then close ties with AF/KLM? We already have the NW/KLM relationship with AF in CDG--we fly to Mumbai and Chennai, just like NW does (Delhi) from AMS. I think they want larger % of ownership laws to change and then buy a large piece of us at a major bargain after emerging from BK. I don't really mind that, since AF has DEEP POCKETS. And, I have always wanted to wear a baret and grow a thin mustache, and at the same time wear a tight black and white striped shirt and black pants to work.
