I just listened to a replay of a flight attendant conference call from Thursday with our COO Jim Whitehurst. There was a Q & A at the end, and of course many merger questions.
Mr. Whitehurst stated that they met with the creditor's committee on Wednesday, and that they were still "very supportive" of a stand-alone Delta. He also stated that DL management talks to other airlines "all the time", and he's not sure where the NWA rumour started, because we are NOT in talks to merge with anybody.
Lastly, he stated that he is "surprised" at Doug Parker's increased offer, because Mr.Parker had earlier stated that DL was "over-valued". Of course, Parker also stated that he would never continue without DL management's full support. Then, he said he would work at gaining DL employees' support. Neither of those things have happened.
