Northwest will not be a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines. It will BE Delta Air Lines. So really, Mesaba and Compass will be no different than Comair. Maybe you were being sarcastic. sorry

Funny. Here is what the press release says - "With the completion of the merger, Northwest Airlines is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta."

Honestly, do you folks ever read before you post your facts?

Actually, Northwest Airlines Corp. became NWA Inc. yesterday. It will be a subsidiary of Delta and will further be held in another subsidiary called Nautilus Merger Corp. So Delta owns NWA Inc and will operate it as a seperate entitity within the Nautilus Merger Corp entity.

what is the reason for:
Comair & Mesaba being wholly-owned as well as NWA being wholly owned and yet NWA can merge lists with Delta but Mesaba and Comair are left on the sidelines....

My question is? what is the difference in the acquisitions of Mesaba and Comair as opposed to NWA that would allow for this?

LOA 19. Scope was eased in the Delta pilot's contract to specifically allow NWA to be operated as a subsidiary until they transition to a SOC.
