Delta & United in merger talks
Associated Press are reporting that DL & UA are in merger discussion talks.
Fairly advanced it would seem, as they are suggesting the joint airline HQ would be Chicago, the airline name would be United & the CEO would be from Delta. Shares in both companies up about 10% on the news. United being heavy on the Pacific Routes & Delta more so on the Atlantic routes would make it a good merger.
Interesting to see if this is just kite flying or if there is any real substance to it.
