Delta says fuel costs forced combination with Northwest

“That's why we're moving now rather than waiting on fuel to continue to erode our ability to manage together.”

US airlines may be approaching a "break point" on fuel costs, making the merger between Delta Air Lines Inc. via Boston Globe

Hmm... Spending money to fuel the fleet of one airline, or spend money to fuel the fleet of two airlines? How does merging save them money? It doesn't. It's a great excuse to use when you need to cut some manpower. We'll see them in bankruptcy again. This time the CEO's will part with twice as much. Greed, greed, greed.....

Marty. Ya, nice thought. If you haven't figured it out by now, THEY worked on a plan a long time ago to take over all the wealth and have you and me do all the work while THEY set back and fill THEY're pockets. Started with Reagan. The schools dummed down the kids. Industry kept the Unions away. Women's issues were given a lot of happy talk and then they cut women's pay 40% of a mans pay and women haven't really stood up and done anything about it. They control all our food costs. They control all the fuel cost. THEY control all the utilities and the average American has been cut out of any input to any of it. Wal-Mart now controls what is going to be the standard for retail stores. Meat inspection and inspection of things comming in from China has been cut back so we just have to except it or just don't don't buy the products. Will it get worse? By the time my grandchildren are adults the jobs that pay good wages will be controled by the wealthy that could send their children to the better colleges. THEY will have complete control of the average man and woman.
Wish I was going to live long enough to see it all happen. But then again maybe I don't really want to be around that long.

Seems like the comments here get it!

The deal was done long ago when these two sought bankruptcy on the same day in the same court in NY.

Thanks for seeing through the caca.

It was in 1998 when they made the GREAT DEAL behind the door and then 9 months later out came me. The offspring of Rich and Doug. Now my real name is SCAB.
