How is Delta doing post merger?
I've been off the forums for a while. I was wondering how Delta is doing post-merger. I was looking over the APC main page. Looks like no furloughs and a nice pay bump since the merger. How is the company doing? How is everything else over there?
I was always a big supporter of this merger and hopefully it is going well for everyone involved.

So far so good. We need to get past SOC to realize the true bennies of this merger.
I am sure that once they start moving airplanes, there will be a few with ruffled feathers as there are surplus awards that result in people getting displaced out of base. In the end it is what it is, and most know this.

Doing well, thanks for asking.
Of course there are issues, but they are being worked on. Personally I think Delta+NWA is rewriting the book on how to merge well.
Lots of plans, on the way to get a single FAA certificate, a little overmanned with the reductions, early pilot retirement program in effect, no plans of furloughs yet, losses due to gambling on fuel mostly.
Good people, I am very glad I am here.
Also, I am ecstatic that NWA was the pick. Super airline with a strong and cohesive pilot group!

Heyas,
I would agree with the above. I think as difficult as some spots were, relatively speaking, the DAL/NWA merger will go down in some book as the textbook way to do things, both from a business and an operational point of view. Not too bad, considering that a few years ago the "traditional" merger was written off for dead by the industry wonks..."anyone would be crazy to consider it".
The only really weird thing that's happened so far is I had some UAL guy mad at me for "stealing his merger"....like I had anything to do with it personally...
And no, I'm not joking...he was just one of those guys, that we've all met, ****ed at the whole universe.
Nu
