Let me suggest a movie that might help all with the seemingly endless inundation of paranoia. War Games. The only move is not to play. And with that in mind, vote no, and let's watch what happens. The sad thing is that most of you that are espousing that action FOR the reasons that you are advocating them will disappear from these boards... Vote whatever way you want, but I implore you to do so based on the facts and not the preconceived notions that I am reading here.
It is no tin foil hat crackpot theory that we are more likely to see another transactional event than not. In fact its pretty obvious we are and everyone in the industry knows it. Its established canon in this era of aviation we're in that further consolidation is a certainty and its very likely DL will participate.
I'm not basing my vote on that possibility, as my vote on the TA more than stands on its own regardless of that issue. But we do need to be weighing the realistic possibilities of DL being involved in another transactional event and the AS example I used is at least on the short list of the more likely possibilities.
