Well, we already know what outcome DL's experts delivered (or at least didn't manage to avoid). And it wasn't pretty yesterday. And it still isn't all smooth yet.

Is DL now "too big to fail" (as in too big to be allowed to fail) in our airline market, a bit like some of our largest financial sector behemoths?
