stockholder vote
Is the NWA/DAL stockholder vote today? After this is the DOJ the last thing and is it complete from the day they sign it? Do you guys expect to see a lot of route changes real quick when it is done?

Not quite done. There is a lawsuit to block the merger that will be heard in LA on the 5th of Nov. This has to be settled before the merger can be completed. The merits of this suit are suspect. Don't expect a problem, just a nusiance

Carl,
I think most of us agree that this lawsuit is a nuisance, suspect, and should be thrown out immediately. My question for you is if DOJ is the sole authority then why wasn't the lawsuit summarily dismissed in a previous court appearance? I would think the lawyers for Delta/Northwest would have tried to do this. Seems to me by taking the lawsuit to trial, the judge on the case may not agree with you!

In my non-lawyer opinion, this is such an example. I don't know whether the case has just been scheduled, or whether it is too early for the defendants bar to have even entered a motion for summary judgement dismissal due to the court's lack of standing. If summary judgement motions have already come and gone, then this court is embarking on an almost certain reversal on appeal.
Do we have any lawyer lurkers out there that care to render their opinion on this?

Yeah, that's probably why they brought the case into court in SFO!! I expect this to be a fairly short trial and summary judgment in Delta's favor. If not, I would expect it to be thrown out on an appeal even if it has to go to the Supreme court. (Not a lawyer here )
