Delta/NW management is already backpedaling from the much touted merger "efficiencies". Management is citing failure to realize "efficiencies" as a result of the current business climate.
To be sure the current business climate is lousy, but didn't WN have a pretty much neutral 1st Quarter and FL had a great first quarter?
DL/NW could give a fig about the other legacies. It's focus is on FL and now WN.
