I know who he is.
Still upset about your buddy Harwood getting the very well deserved boot? (clearly you deserved it as well far more than I thought given your behavior as of late) Anyways... a VA merger isn't going to happen, and the reality is in between on how the SLI would play out. https://video.search.yahoo.com/video...v&fr=ipad&tt=b |

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

You mean like when RAH bought Frontier?
That didn't work out so well...... Companies would have to be kept separate to satisfy any legacy scope clause, but employees aren't content with that solution. And Legacy would have to divest of the shares of said regional. |

I was thinking more like the way Southwest bought Airtran.

JMHO I think the Airtran purchase was the deal that has forever changed SWA. A third of their front line employees treated like 2nd class baggage. In an industry where attitude means so much.

Delta will eventually buy Hawaian in about 3 years and after a new CBA ( watch your scope and fragmentation Captain Malone. Don't give anything up for the big raise they will offer in pay and no profit sharing changes)
Richard will be on the board of Hawaian after he retires from Delta and Hawaian will buy Virgin America this year (sorry JB ) All pre planned just like busting the unions at NWA and merging with DL 45 330s , about 80 320/21s and 20 some 717s It will not be a bad deal if merge and not spun off as a DL subsidiary DL will start getting the 717s this year watch it |

Oh absolutely. but that was the blueprint for circumventing McCaskill/Bond. Door number 1)Buy, merge with ****ty deal. Door number 2) Create holding company, take assets, furlough when assets are all gone.... done. Door number 3) Offer even ****tier deal than door number 1.
