Merger Mania 2008 is back and kicking. Delta and Northwest have announced their merger plan. See this Bloomberg story for more. I’ll have more on this later, but for now, you can look back at my overview of the DL-NW antitrust issues. After the failure of the two airlines’ pilot groups to agree on a framework for merging seniority lists, labor issues will continue to complicate the deal. The NWA pilots have vowed to “aggressively oppose” the merger.

Hi Evan,
Greetings from South East Asia. A great aviation blog you are having here. Will be back more often.
It’s kinda sad by the way to lose NWA as it’s one of myy favorite airlines.
I wish you a pleasant day!
