3. Yeah, the World's busiest airport in Atlanta has nothing on MSP.
4. No, Delta has not hired a President. Ed Bastian was the CFO.
I agree the fleet makes no sense and the merger makes no sense. In about 60 days I hope the Board realizes this cash out plan has no legs.
I agree with you. There is less fleet commonality between NWA and DAL. Also, DAL is trying to reduce RJ flying, and if they bought/merged with NWA, they would be aquiring more RJ's(this as they're exploring selling COMAIR). They also have to deal with Midwest, right? It seems like there is a heck of a lot more baggage with NWA then with UAL. I also think UAL would go for cheaper then what NWA would ask for. So much to speculate.
Guess I better get on the saddle and tighten the reigns!
