Delta/NWA DCC@ 12:01 PM EDT
 

Done deal! Merger closure was at 12:01 this afternoon. I'd like give a big warm welcome to our brothers/sisters at Mesaba and Compass! Welcome to the wholly owned DCI rat race!;):D

We're all screwed now.

Let the dance begin...

well.... At least we will know something (For better or for worse)

I look forward to the unveiling of the New DCI so all this ridiculous speculation can come to an end...

Bohica..........

OK my turn, BIG announcement at Mesaba this Friday.

Give it a rest about Mesaba. Every Friday there is a supposed big announcement, enough already.

what about pinnacle? their future?

Try a fortune cookie.

i dont think so..!

bohica.... and again.... and again

Oh shut up already, no one cares anymore

Yes... You're switching from Pepsi to Coke products.

LOL, hilarious.

Praise the lord!

Yup..... i know it

apparently you do,,:D

That wasn't supposed to be announced til Friday.

I always thought our 'big' announcement was scheduled for next Tuesday. Whatever week you are in, always next Tuesday . . . .:cool:

so Mesaba and Compass folks you are now wholly owned subsidiaries of a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines. Doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?

Really REALLY :eek: big announcement next tuesday...

Hey! Being owned by Delta means everything! :rolleyes:

...and nobody is getting furloughed as a result of the merger!

Everyone can breath easy now.

Actually, yes. That means the 74's are coming in no time........or next Friday, whichever comes first! :)

deleted...he caught it!

Yeah that's when the new movies come out. I think Kung Fu Panda next week...

Also something else though...something that has been in the news recently maybe? Oh, the election, right!!

Actually that comes out Nov. 9th, dont ask why i know...:confused:

Shhhh......don't tell! :)

Skadoosh..

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

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT COKE PRODUCTS!!!!!!!!

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?:D

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.

I wonder when they'll start painting airplanes...

The AP story said it will be a few months.... They are going to transition somewhat slowly to make it an "easy move".. haha

Yeah I wish Airways/America West had a merger this easy.....I hope maybe these guys grow up a little bit after seeing how DL/NWA is doin

Man I'll miss the silver & red...I love that color scheme and logo...might also miss my job if it's gone after the paint schemes change ha ha :eek:

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.
