I've always been a bit surprised that DL are happy to acquire only 49% of VS. What they need was 51% (OK 2% would have to be owned by AFKLM to get around nationality rules but that that could give them effective control). They could then parachute in some DL managers and hopefully made a difference. As it is I don't see much of a difference beyond the UA codeshare being replaced with a DL one. SQ is one of the world's best airlines but this didn't seem to rub off on VS. Will things be different with DL? Are there significant changes planned for the future?
