You imply how so much more stand up Delta guys were doing your merger - and do you ever read the General and his merry men over on FI by the way?

Plenty of "hubris" from two just out of BK legacies on both sides in DAL/NW deal. Now what would have Lee Moak's tune been at Delta had DAL bid on a smaller BK carrier - let's merge the list 'cause we're all brothers in arms here? What would the pilot group have done if any proposal different from ours at SWAPA been proposed? Scream BS that's what.

Oh .... and "brace yourself" as you said ... I used to work at Delta and quit to work at SWA. I know very well how that would have sold.

Delta/NWA much different than SWA/F9 - that is why "merger" was a key word in you post.
