"The Memphis hub from Northwest will be "a very important part of our Southeastern strategy," said Delta president Ed Bastian. "When you look at Atlanta here, for Delta, we are constrained. We're out of room on the gates." "Memphis is going to be a great opportunity" for any growth in the region, Bastian said. Delta has committed that no frontline employees will be involuntarily furloughed as a result of the merger and that no hubs will be closed. Additionally, Delta will distribute an equity stake to Delta and Northwest employees shortly after the merger closes. The airline also has implemented a seniority protection policy that ensures that frontline employees of both airlines will be provided seniority protection through a fair-and-equitable process as the companies' workforces are combined"
