I imagine this has already been discussed, but would the merger of Delta and NW change or add codeshares or anything?

This has been discussed heavily. Plus, we have NWA codeshares already...

Depending on what happens in a merger, we may change the schedule around a bit. Right now it's too early to say what will happen here, but some discussion has started.

Cheers!

But there's a big difference between the # of DL code shares and DL flights. So a NW/DL merger (before consolidation of flights) would produce a much larger # of flights under DL.

I would like to fly some NW flights as I like to fly 747s. I'm hoping for a DL/NW merger. And it's DVA.

You won't see any flights for a long while. Many issues regarding unions, seniority, fleet are being discussed and that'll take some time before it is confirmed. It took a long while during the Delta/Western merger. Our #1 priority in the operataions area is to be safe, reliable and customer focused.
