I don't recall anything in those notes that wasn't already known.
- Seattle is important to Delta. Doesn't take much work on google to find that DAL has recently added flights there. Im sure AMR and SWA have no idea we codeshare with Alaska.
-The Atlantic markets are weak. Who in this industry does not know that.
- Delta is going to play Boeing vs. Airbus. Nothing that AMR didn't do last year and that Delta didn't previously do with the 737-900 order.
Every time that I get a line check, those guys love to play "I know something that you don't game" and I'll tell you on the leg home if there's time. They tell us and then we come here (or other forums) and tell all of our buds. My point is that information finds it's way here anyway. I even saved the "Delta Digest" or whatever it was called, where RA said "I'm not here to merge this airline". Within 6 months he announced the merger with NWA. I think that certain items they put out are mis-information anyway.
In summary, look out for a HA merger within 6 months!
