This will make a “Trivial Pursuit” question/answer incorrect.

It won't be the largest airline for long, because the NW Delta merger will cause Continental and United to merge.

If you want on or off this aerospace ping list, please contact Paleo Conservative or phantomworker by Freep mail.

Good News! About time! Delta is one of the best Airlines - albeit expensive.

Bought several hundred shares of Delta in the $10.40 range two weeks ago, it continued to trend lower, picked up more at the $8.40 level ... it went as low as $7.95. Bottom line, my average cost per share is under $10.00 ... interested to see what happens tomorrow with the stock.

Industry consolidation.

Beautiful.

Travelers are just excited at the prospect of increasing fares, more crappy service, more overbookings and more lost luggage.

Jeez... can we go back to the days of mule riding???

Air Line Pilots Association, the kiss of death! Each airline that has a Pilot of Mechanic representative on the Board of Directors has soon gone into bankruptcy or folded.
Fly them or Fix them, let the managers and directors do their job!!

If fuel costs continue to rise, this won't save either of them.

Not even close.

Too bad it’s Delta taking the corporate identity. Their livery sucks.
