Apparently Delta is practically staying the same.. while nothing about NWA is going to survive

Is this a merger or a takeover? I hardly call this a merger.. why did NWA even allow this, I miss my old airline... too bad I made platinum this year, I guess I'll be spending 2010 using up all my miles as I shop for another airline for 2011 Elite status
Why would they keep the NWA logo/ set up/ uniform/ credit card/ FF program name? Do you think that it would be smart to have the airline called Delta, but the FF program called NW Worldperks? Don't you think that would be confusing from a branding perspective?

PS Skyclub is a new name. It used to be called the Crown Room Club.
