Perhaps you can't address the specifics of the merger planning that has taken place, but I think it would be very interesting to see what a developer thinks about how you integrate two very big companies with hundreds of thousands of PNRs overnight. In other words, when/if a merger is finalized and the date of the merger is announced, and that date arrives, and the switch is flipped, everyone working for former Airline A will need to be able to see the reservations for everyone who booked on former Airline B, as the customer will be traveling on Airline A+B.
That's got to be a very huge task worthy of a blog, sanitized perhaps of specifics related to a proposed DL/NW merger.
