Is this where I paraphrase George Castanza, "Was I wrong? Should I have not mentioned the hat AND the doube-breast coat? Because had I known that was a problem I'd have..."

Just kidding, ya'all. Frankly I think this merger has no legs, however there are a lot of people politicians and institutions who want or hate this deal.
Uniform isn't changing, there are real reasons for it and the Navy and Marine folks running the show do not want it changed. Others have tried - it aint happening....

I'm also thinking this merger is DOA. Internally I'm hearing a lot of "Delta's stand alone plan is working very well." IMHO Delta is not going forward without the pilots.
