You are truly delusional. Nobody can stop this. Oberstar is damaged goods. Go ahead and give him a call. 🙄

In a way, I like you NxNW, you make me think about how I can prove you wrong. You are one of the few who can actually spell grammar correctly. Bed time.You mistake my glee for anger little boy (I am going to LOVE this!)."This is something you can't do anything about." you're really funny in a little kid kind of way. Sing this song after it's all over. Don't worry about my spelling (if you are referring to HILLBILLY spelling your are correct, otherwise you just can't read) when your grammar is that of a 3rd grader. You see, Northwest people will teach you the facts of living in reality, and never, NEVER count your "chikens" before they hatch.

My oppinion, that was a controlled hostile takeover. Controlled by AA alone. They took over a dead company. TWA had been in BK for years.

As IF YOU would know anything about stopping something. Crawl back under your cry baby rock and watch from the sidelines.
At least I have experience trying.
You are letting your anger overcome your judgement.
I sincerely hope you come out ok in this.
What makes you think this merger can't happen? Because they have some regulatory hurtles? Believe me nwa is so politcally connnected is it sickning and the top people at BOTH carriers want this merger and so do the shareholders. Any union on the nwa property who doesn't like it too bad. Why do you think they are pushing this thing so fast..Because they want this deal done before the Bush administration is replaced..They know this marrage has a very good chance of approval under the Bush regime.. So your words are marked...But I want anything that will drive up the worthless northwest stock so I can cash out. Yeah I was one of the more stupid ones who didn't get rid of it when it was 60 dollars a share..I say YES to a merger and I hope all the scabs are kicked to the curb. Good luck finding new jobs in this economy with your name tainted...

And you conveniently forget that we had the federal courts, Bankruptcy, AND a Presidential Administration against us.
You and many others mistake my REALISTIC view that this announcement means SQUAT, for "anger" . It is merely an announced wish on paper that MUST be approved by an indepth regalatory board and various Federal agencies. Just google Ual/US merger attempt to find out where this is.
This announcement doesn't disturb me in the least. The fat lady has even stepped up on the stage yet. What is disturbing is these people have no idea what they have allowed into their company with the likes of the NWA BOD and that thing Steenland.
Just got this email from Northwest...
As a valued Northwest Airlines customer and WorldPerks® member, I wanted you to be among the first to hear that we have announced a merger with Delta Air Lines. Subject to regulatory review, our two airlines are joining forces to create America’s premier global airline which, upon closing of the merger, will be called Delta Air Lines.
By combining Northwest and Delta, we are building a stronger, more resilient airline that will be a leader in providing customer service and value. Our combined airline will offer unprecedented access to the world, enabling you to fly to more destinations, have more flight choices and more ways than ever to earn and redeem your WorldPerks miles.
You can be assured that your WorldPerks miles and Elite program status will be unaffected by this merger. In addition, you can continue to earn miles through use of partners like WorldPerks Visa®. And once the new Delta Air Lines emerges you can look forward to being a part of the world’s largest frequent flyer program with expanded benefits.
The combined Delta Air Lines will serve more U.S. communities and connect to more worldwide destinations than any global airline. Our hubs – both Delta’s and Northwest’s – will be retained and enhanced. We will be the only U.S. airline to offer direct service from the United States to all of the world’s major business centers in Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa and around North America.
Both airlines bring tremendous strengths to this new partnership. Our complementary service networks form an end-to-end system that is truly greater than the sum of its parts. This is a merger by addition, not subtraction, which means all of our hubs – both Northwest’s and Delta’s – will be retained. In addition, building on both airlines’ proud, decades-long history of serving small communities, we plan to enhance global connections to small towns and cities across the U.S.
All of these positive benefits of our combination mean that we can:
Offer a true global network where our customers will be able to fly to more destinations, have more schedule options and more opportunities to earn and redeem frequent flyer miles in what will become the world’s best and most comprehensive frequent flyer program.
Continue to serve our current roster of destinations and to maintain our hubs in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Memphis, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York, Salt Lake City, Amsterdam and Tokyo.
Improve our customers’ travel experience, through new products and services including enhanced self-service tools, better bag-tracking technology, more onboard services, including more meal options, new seats and refurbished cabins.
While we work to secure approval of our merger, which may take up to 6 to 8 months, it will be business-as-usual at both airlines. We will continue to operate as independent airlines and the people of Northwest will remain focused on providing you with the very best in safe, reliable and convenient air travel. At the same time, both airlines will be planning for a seamless integration of our two airlines, one that delivers to you the enhanced benefits that will earn – and retain – your preference.
As we work through this process, we will keep you informed at every step along the way. Thank you for your business and we look forward to serving you on your next Northwest flight.
Sincerely,
Bob Soukup
Managing Director, WorldPerks

Pardon me if this sounds overly simplistic, but the employees at NW are in the process of getting hosed. Pretty much everyone will get something out of this except the NW workers.
You all have my best wishes.
p.s. - BTW, I have nothing against DL and am not flaming them, but the NW workers are, in my opinion, being sold out by their management.

The 4% equity stake applies to all non-pilot workers at NW as well.
How much a stake did you get in the HP/US merger?

Does the 4% equity stake go to the wholly owned carrier employees as well (XJ)?

I don't believe so. I was under the impression that this was for mainline employees only.

According to Letterman tonight, the only reason that DL and NW are merging is so that they can be the world's biggest airline and cancel more flights than American.
