I do not think "irony" has anything to do with their first merger outcome. Its more than likely that DAL was already courting NW, when US threw a wrench in the process. Remember DAL and NW filled BK within 24 hrs of each other.
DAL did a stupendous job at keeping the cards close to their chest.
"Irony" in and of itself generally does not influence the outcome of future events. Whether or not the current situation is ironic or not, is a matter of opinion.
