I read it...but I have no faith whatsoever in them. Delta was in Chapter 11 having failed to meet its obligations to its passengers, stock holders and suppliers. It has a terrible record of customer service and has very dominant positions in Atlanta, MSP, SLC, etc.. and yet is allowed to emerge as the largest airline in the world, after receiving permission to take over Northwest. You can bet United and Continental will have taken "soundings" from the regulators ahead of this announcement and that they will be asked to give up a few "token" slots and routes and it will sail through. It will be the customer who loses....
