This is a failed attempt at being funny.

Comair is owned by DAL but Pinnacle is not owned by NWA. Also if DAL didn't merge Comair and ASA in the past, what make anyone think they'll do it with Compass and Comair? What would they call that merger …………… hmmmmmmm ….. Compass …….. Comair……… haaaa ....... ComAir. Another reason for not merging their regional airlines (DAL owns Comair and NWA owns Compass and Mesaba) is so that they can whipsaw one against the other.

This thread is a waist of time and everyone should let it ride off into the pages of history with all the other failed threads.
