As you are all aware, last night Northwest Airlines entered into an agreement to merge with Delta Air Lines. Subject to regulatory approval, the merger will create a premier global airline – with more stability and significant benefits for our customers. Several concerns and questions have been raised on multiple FlyerTalk threads – we will continue to monitor your comments and concerns posted in this forum as well as gathering customer feedback from our standard internal sources.

Most of the answers to your questions can be found at: http://www.newglobalairline.com
Please continue to visit this site for up-to-date information on the merger.

Regarding the WorldPerks loyalty program: during the regulatory review period, it is business as usual – with no changes to the WorldPerks program. After the merger closes, customers will be able to fly to more destinations, have more flight scheduling choices and have greater ability to earn and redeem their WorldPerks miles around the world. Furthermore, this transaction will have no impact on WorldPerks miles or elite status.
