It was a classic case of pigs get feed and hogs get slaughtered.
Regardless as you mention and I agree Delta management was not going to merge the airlines so even had a prenup been reached nothing would have changed.
Your story keeps changing. First it was "unions can't force a merger". Then it was "well they can if it is negotiated, but Delta management wasn't going to go for it". Now it is "well DALPA was willing to give it a shot if there was a prenup". Wow....You flipped flopped more than our commander in chief just in one page of posts.
