Delta and Northwest Merger

The merger between Delta and Northwest Airlines has created a lot of buzz. There's always the concern that it's not good for passengers or employees. There's nothing worse than having a disgruntled flight attendant or baggage handler working the flight that you're taking. However, from the inside, I can tell you that there's a lot of positive comments. The company (Delta) has been assuring that this merger is not subtractive i.e. losing jobs and closing routes. They contend that it's additive i.e. good for passengers, good for employees and good for business. What is known for sure is that if nothing is done two of the giants in the air will go down. Pun intended.
