All those talks about DL mergers are pissing me off. What the hell Delta is doing? Year ago they were crying like a babies that they don't want to be swallowed by any airline. Now when their financial status is little bit better comparing to last year they go on f*%#en shopping rampage for airlines.
Improve what you have and enjoy profits. I hate those talks how after the merger airlines will lower prices, will have better network etc. The only outcome of another merger will be:
- thousands of layoffs
- reduced seat capacity on many routes
- no competition = no customer service
Management is trying to make company profitable, but if your product is not profitable now - why do they think that all of a sudden after the merger company will turn a profit?
Do you remember this letter? Exactly one year ago Delta was crying and kicking. Look at them now. I've lost hope for them.

Dear Rafal,
As you may know, on Wednesday, January 31, 2007 US Airways announced it withdrew its unsolicited proposal to merge with Delta Air Lines.
On behalf of the 104,000 active and retired Delta people worldwide, please accept our sincere thanks for your efforts over the past two months to help “Keep Delta My Delta!” Your support for our campaign made a difference. The petitions you signed and the letters you sent to Congress and to the Departments of Justice and Transportation played a significant role in our success.
Importantly, it helped ensure that 45,000 proud Delta professionals around the globe will continue to have the opportunity to meet your personal and business travel needs with world-class service and superior performance – now and in the future.
We are honored by your support and very appreciative of your business.
Thank you! "
Take care,
Rafal
