Hej du vår bevarare av svenskheten i mellanvästern (för dit räknas väl Minnesota?)!
Så här bekriver nyhetsbrevet AvwebBiz sammanslagningen mer koncentrerat men mindre lokalpatriotiskt:
Delta Airlines and Northwest Airlines have agreed to merge in a no-cash deal that trades stock only. The airline will be called Delta. The deal was reached early Monday evening and is worth $17.7 billion. The merger creates the world's largest airline, for the moment, at least. News of the merger has sparked speculation that Continental and United will follow. In the Delta-Northwest deal, the airlines have agreed to keep all their hubs open and Delta pilots have been given a 3.5 percent stake. They've also agreed to keep their current contract through 2012.
På vår sida av Atlanten kan man ju undra vad som nu kommer att hända med Alitalia. Och hur länge namnet KLM blir kvar.
