With the news that this is heating up due to transition of government leaders this may actually hold water. I know DL has said they would be a buyer, this may be something along the lines of DL buying and using the UAL name if the press release was correct. However, I doubt this is a done deal in any manner.

Again, the DL folks are a good group of people and I hope the best for all, with or without this talk of merger.
