WN was struggling because they are flying MAX 8s on routes that should be flown on MAX 7s. Too much capacity = margin hit. They have done the things necessary to increase revenue on the commercial side now. We can't really determine if WN is truly struggling until they realize the MAX 7 into their every day ops. If they continue to struggle once that happens, then we know it's because people decided to buy away from WN now that they are a different product.

Not a chance Delta is allowed to merge with WN.
