Better than the loss of jobs and commerce.

So you combine at best average Delta service, with really bad Northwest service, and get an airlane that can take you a lot more places with crappy service.
I can’t wait…..

Delta needs to merge with Greyhound, from my perspective.

I really don’t see how this is bad, only good. Well, not sure if it’s good for shareholders. But for Atlanta, this is great — more business!
Plus, Delta is the best of the airlines I frequent — Airtran, Delta, US Airways, and American Airlines — by far.
