    Yes, and probably many more to come. This acquisition by Delta forms the largest airline in the world, taking over from Air France-KLM. It's also likely to help American Airlines and British Airways as they seek antitrust immunity for their own proposed alliance. Branson won't be a happy puppy!

    Oh damn.

    NWA imo are a great airline both on the ground and in the Air wheras Delta are a nightmare on the ground but good in the Air.

    I suspect another airline goes downhill here.
