It will be interesting if the merge of these airlines go through. Both fly to the DR. Will prices go up or down? My bet is up. Less competition for AA.

you have a measleading title, ..

US Airways proposes $8 bln merger with Delta
US Airways Group Inc. <LCC.N>on Wednesday said it had proposed an $8 billion merger with bankrupt Delta Air Lines Inc. <DALRQ.PK>to create the No. 1 trans-Atlantic carrier.
The proposal, which would take effect upon Delta's emergence from bankruptcy, would provide about $8 billion of value in cash and stock to the company's unsecured creditors, US Airways said.

As Delta Vision is to emerge from chapter 11 by spring next year and create a new Delta, I believe mr Whithehusrt will lead the Airlines to right direction after Jerry Grinstein retired from Delta (CEO).

US Air is going directly to the shareholders to put the deal together. Hostile takeover.

My bro-in-law is a big mucky muck in Pilot Training @ Delta. Been there over 30 years. I got to fly an MD-80 sim once.

Latino, in this case the decision will be made by Delta's creditors who won't lose their investment. US Airways offers 4 Billion in funds and 4 in stock shares, Citigroup agreed to be part of this deal.

Delta will accept this chance or it will lose everything. THis way the airline will be in the air, the new carrier will keep the sane name (Delta Air Lines) and they will have 45% of the company.

This new carrier will be the strongest.

Nobody thought that US Airways will survive, but look what happened after their deal with America West. So let's wait for the next move of competitors, guess who will merge with Continental next!!!!!!

The Delta managment and Employees believe that Delta Wil do it without any help, thats why US Airways and United were talking to Delta CEO.
But the option will be up to the Delta creditors.
Lets see what Happends in few months.

In response, Jerry Grinstein wants all Delta employees to know:

"We received a letter from U.S. Airways this morning and will of course review it. Delta?s plan has always been to emerge from bankruptcy in the first half of 2007 as a strong, stand-alone carrier, Jerry said. Our plan is working and we are proud of the progress Delta people are making to achieve this objective. The Bankruptcy Court has granted Delta the exclusive right to create the plan of reorganization until Feb. 15, 2007. We will continue to move aggressively toward that goal. "

Delta Response email

Hello Mr. Gomera,

On behalf of the 45,000 Delta people dedicated to serving you worldwide, "Thank You!" for continuing to choose us as your preferred airline.

We're transforming Delta into an even better airline for you, and hope you have had the opportunity to experience the improvements and new product offerings designed to make our airline even more convenient and enjoyable, including:

More than 70 new international destinations
More comfortable aircraft interiors with all-leather seats
State-of-the-art entertainment systems available on demand
Better food and beverage offerings on Delta flights worldwide with celebrity partners like Michelle Bernstein and Rande Gerber
Advanced technology offering improved self-service kiosks, better delta.com functionality, and automatic notifications of delays, irregular operations, alternative service, and more
Major improvements in airport facilities in Atlanta and New York/JFK
Horizontal lie-flat seats in BusinessElite?, coming in 2008
In addition to our enhanced customer service and offerings, we are pleased to report that we are on track to complete our restructuring and exit Chapter 11 in the first half of 2007, as planned. Of course, our customers aren't the only ones taking notice of the new, ever-improving Delta. As you may have seen in the news, US Airways recently made an unsolicited merger proposal.

Please be assured that your travel plans, your SkyMiles, and the many benefits you enjoy from the SkyMiles program and our global alliances are secure and are in no way affected. It is business as usual at Delta Air Lines. Today, as always, you can rely on the excellent service Delta's proud team of dedicated professionals provides.

Going forward, Delta will evaluate US Airways' proposal carefully, as we are obligated to do. But you should know we are concerned that this particular transaction would not be in the best interest of our many stakeholders including our customers, employees, travel partners, and the communities we serve. We are moving full steam ahead with our own plan to emerge from Chapter 11 as a strong, independent, stand-alone airline dedicated to providing you with world-class service and
superior performance.

Please continue to book on Delta with confidence knowing you can count on the convenience and choice you've come to expect from the more than 14,000 daily flights to 445 destinations in 92 countries that we along with our SkyTeam and codeshare partners provide worldwide. We appreciate your loyalty and the opportunity to meet your personal and business travel needs ? now and in the future. Thank you for choosing Delta, and warm wishes for a safe, happy and healthy holiday season.


Lee Macenczak
Executive Vice President of Sales and Customer Service
