When the merger was announced the first think I said was, "Finially, we get Coke on the airplanes!!!"

It was the first good thought I had about the NWA/DAL merger.

Pepsi sucks.

I though Ed Bastian already came out several months ago and said that the "New" Delta would be serving Coke products?

As long as DAL HQ is in Atlanta, it'll be Coke. When we move the hub to MEM, who knows?

Personally, I'd love to see Mt Dew. It'd make these frikkin red eyes much mo betta.

Delta's early growth was largely funded by "Coca-Cola money". There's an old story about some guy who stood up at the annual stockholders' meeting in Monroe, Louisiana, and suggested that it be held in New York the following year. Mentioned that he had proxies for nearly a hundred thousand shares. Monroe Coke tycoon B.W. Biedenharn responded that he held no proxies, just his own quarter-million shares, and that next year's meeting would be right where it always was.

Why can't places just serve both? I get so sick of going somewhere that has only Coke or only Pepsi. You either like one or the other so they automatically make some people unsatisfied with their choices. I think it would be a great marketing tool to advertise that we serve both. I say have Coke and Pepsi with their diet equivalents, Mt. Dew, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, and the usual choice of juices.
