Why Delta is VA's Most Likely Suitor
This is an interesting article. With VA's Love Field Access and west coast feed this acquisition might make sense to Delta's senior execs.

I agree with this. At this point I don't see DL buying a domestic carrier. Alaska was rumored for a long time, but I don't even think that's likely with regulators and cost involved. VA would be a distraction at this point. I think DL's only likely to buy something for Haneda, LHR, or China access anytime soon. JMO, What do I know? OFG

I don't think Delta would buy VX. We don't have much to offer. I think people forget how small we actually are. Besides west coast to jfk, we only fly like 2 or 3 flights per day to the 25 cities we serve. Unless they just want quick access to 60 Airbuses I think this sale is not going to be to an airline.

No way in hell
Nailed it. And we would only have 4 major carriers in the US. Consumers would poop themselves
