If you've got another plan that will remove 500 former DAL guys from the list...I'm listening.

Come on Carl, not the "my dad can beat up your dad" argument, AGAIN! Like it or not we are one company. So PLEASE take that early out. Damn I'm gonna look good in that Whale.
But back to reality, besides the non-common fleet, lack of a real West Coast presence, and that either or both of two hubs being ousted, it is a good merger (or acquisition
).
