Good, now we can move on with this. Hopefully it goes better than the reciprocation of upgrading.

Also, I'm sure there is no connection between this announcement and the earlier one today about WN's landing slots at EWR.

I'm excited to see the changes, and hope that flyers, employees and investors all benefit.

So what about the news reports that the two airlines may remain separate for another year?

Going the DL route.

Both airlines are going into a holding company while operations are merged together over the next year.

It's really the only option with two operations as large as these.

Let's hope this goes down smoother than the DL/NW rough landing.
