So all the buzz is starting again around merger rumors. I have heard from 3 separate NW and DL folks in the last few days that the merger is on. The pilots at DL apparently have a TA regarding a post merger contract - sounds like the companies may just go ahead with the merger and hope for an arbitrated pilot list down the road. And of course a DL/NW merger would be followed shortly after by a CO/UA merger, no?!
Things are really getting a shakeup in the US right now. Airlines closing down one after the other - Frontier in bankruptcy now and all this merger talk. $110/barrel was only sustainable for so long I guess.
