Did NW fly >12 hour flights with 2 Captains prior to the merger? Did NW used to have Orient in the name because their very roots are in the Pacific where most 12+ hours flights are required? Was DL's presence in the Pacific negligible prior to the merger?

You are as wrong about this as most things in your 9,000 I'll-informed posts. Tell your buddy to get a copy of the ltr. from CAL mgmnt regarding their DAL + $1 offer. In it they include caveats regarding implementation issues with many of the DAL PWA work rules et al.
It is amazing to realize that someone who is so ill-informed feels they have so much people need to hear on such a forum, but then again you're a pilot and a "Professional" at that.
