The true essence of America is built upon buying stuff that you don't need, with money you don't have!

Shyguy at delta.

My first post ever! For a man so weak and shy. You sure have big muscles on that computer you live on. Delta looks for leaders in the real world. Not someone who only shows those qualities behind a computer screen.

It might pass Justice dept. muster because VA is hardly the scale of the remaining LCCs...Alaska, JB, Allegiant or even Hawaiian. DAL has about 100 of the A320 family with 45 321s coming soon...VAs complement would make a nice addition...Wondering about the seniority list? Simple....status and category...no DOH.

There....done deal...any questions?

While another pilot makes a sarcastic comment about it.

Even IF Delta did buy Virgin, is there a requirement for Delta to take the pilots as well?

If the VA pilots have a CBA, there would be merger/fragmentation language. If not, it's up to the deal management strikes.

ALPA is on property, we (Virgin) do not have a CBA yet though. Thoughts?
