I'm sure glad we helped get our financial ducks in a row to help put this deal through. Better email your reps before the ink is dry on the LOA. We aren't interested in buying 49% of a company, just to cede them our slots, so they can pare down unprofitable routes, and shift assets to ATL, JFK, and our other LHR gateways. Because if you follow the money, that 747 is gonna have 160 Delta seats for sale on each and every one, the price of the ticket will go up, and the cash flow to our bottom line is going to be immense.

Remember - this has been in the works for I'm guessing 18-24 months. The lines are already drawn in the sand. If we don't like where they were drawn, we're gonna have to work pretty hard to move them.
