Would DL have to change terminals in PHL again, resulting in another 12 month delay in returning a Sky Club?
According to WSJ, the merged airlines would be the second largest. I am not sure the US is the stalking horse, Parker obviously has grand intentions and UA and US a fit geographically but probably not culturally as Parker is really getting US to be more like America West.
