Delta, Northwest combine to create America's premier global airline
Merger keeps commitments to Delta people
Delta and Northwest Airlines announced an agreement in which the two carriers will combine in an all-stock transaction valued at $17.7 billion, creating America’s premier global airline.
The new airline, called Delta, will be based in Atlanta and provide a combined 75,000 employees greater job security, an equity stake in the combined airline and a more stable platform for future growth in the face of significant economic pressures from rising fuel costs and intense competition. Delta will have executive offices in Atlanta, Minneapolis/St. Paul and New York, and international executive offices in Amsterdam, Paris and Tokyo. There will be no hub closures.

This looks to be exciting.
Is this going to be similar to the AWA-US merger? Where everything is painted in Delta's colors? I know that they are taking Delta's name. I wonder about the fleet! This is going to be exciting.

| Let me clarify your statement Myles. Sounds like you were saying Delta is being absorbed. Delta will remain, NWA will be dissolved into Delta.

We have another thread on this topic. Can we confine the discussion to there please... No need to have multiple threads discussing the same thing.
