The same argument could be made for every merger.
The benefits outweigh the down sides.
I think we all can agree it would be better if Delta did the screening before they entered the Delta brand and began flying Delta passengers.
It sounds harsh, but I'm mostly interested in the end state ... that Delta pilots perform Delta flying. Whether Delta wants to get there by setting up it's own operation and sun-setting the failing parts of DCI, fine. But with a $25,000,000,000.00 investment already made in DCI it has a lot of momentum. Who knows, management out at least $4 billion into Comair without shedding a tear at it's funeral.
