Ok, I know I'm coming in from left field, but quite interesting someone created a "Delta and Alaska" thread on here talking about possible merger, but I was in DTW the other day and another Delta crew were talking about a Delta and Alaska merger as well.

Now I know the drill with line pilots speculating and as the statement about opinions and rear ends goes, but what are the likely chances of an Alaska/Delta merger? I'm asking this in all seriousness because I know this would royally screw guys on the outside, like myself, trying to get on for at minimum another year. Of course I'm asking "line pilots" on this forum what "you" think, but some of you post pretty valid stuff and several of us on the "outside" know who you are.

I'm sure some are getting the popcorn ready.
