Looks like DAL/NWA

[Captain X]

That news reported on CNBC's "Opening Bell" this morning (1-22-08). Formal announcement expect within the week.

 

[Draginass]

Get ready for massive layoffs for NW and NW compensation for Delta employees!!

 

[coogebeachhotel]

O my where does that leave the General? Gear swinger for Skywest????

 

[Princedietrich]

Just to stir the pot a little more....

What's the speculation as to which hub is going to get nuked: CVG or MSP?

 

[Draginass]

My guess would be CVG. However, Delta will shutdown the NW HQ in MSP. Delta's going to leave no doubt about who ate who in this deal . . . and the execs will stuff their personal bank accounts in the meantime.

 

[Old Crow]

Maybe the Northwest hangar in ATL will have the lights back on soon...

 

[Kharma Police]

Maybe the Northwest hangar in ATL will have the lights back on soon...

You think DAL will keep the DC-9s?

 

[SplitBar]

CVG and MEM will be closed as Hubs. Thats already been predicted by all of the analysts following this merger.

 

[hockeypilot44]

Does anyone else think this is going to turn out like the United/USAirways merger?

 

[Bill Nelson]

The difference this time is that the entire industry REQUIRES consolidation to survive. The only opportunity outside of consilidation is to reregulate the industry. That ain't gonna happen.
