Default Holding Company

I see this deal being revised to one similar to Air France's and KLM's combination. They create a holding company and operate as separate carriers. The holding company will reap many of the benefits of a merger by coordinating routes, fares and financial operations. Under such a scenario, Delta and Northwest pilots would remain separate.

This way DS gets his payout and can leave to rape his next victim. RA will not have back off from his promise to the Delta employees. The HFs will be happy, because the deal gets pushed though without having to pay the pilots anything for a few more years. Just my thoughts....

I guess we will hear something from the DAL BOD in the next few days.
