The merged airline will be called Delta. Legacy Delta elites don't deserve any preference over legacy Northwest elites once the merger is completed. Until that occurs, these are the rules.
Just think what would have happened if the new airline were called NWA. Would posters be insisting that NWA elites have preference over DL elites?
Elites from both airlines spend the same amount of time BIS to qualify (except for DL DEQM).
Let's stop the ridiculous rants and get back to discussing this development...my 2 cents
