No problem....
What gets me more than anything else is this constant our "Kool Aid is better than your Kool Aid" crap from both sides. I even admit that at least a time or two with the right concentration of alcohol in my body I have slung a nice fat molatov cocktail in the lounge before just to see what happened.
That being said based on both internal (synergies of fleets and foriegn airline codeshare agreements (Air France)) and external factors (economic effects on airlines by the softening economy and further consolodations and reductions): here comes another great piece of speculation for you.
The next 3 to 4 years in the airline industry will be such a wild ride for people in this industry that it will make the past 30 years of deregulation look and feel like a kiddie ride at the state fair. I would much rather be at Delta on whatever type of list is developed than a lot of other places watching the horror movie play out in front of me.
