Delta sucked anyways.

Delta was so overpriced, it was only a matter of time.

The government better not bail them out again. Corporate welfare is horsesh|t, it just gives companies a free pass to mismanage their business.

Crap, I got over 140k NWA frequent flier miles.

I guess management ran the airline into the ground.

er ... metaphorically speaking.

 

[bigrash]

I agree with Ping.

Bailing out the airlines over and over just encourages crappy management and keeps competitive airlines from succeeding.

They need to let them fail, and allow new and/or existing smaller airlines to fill the hole left by these failures.

Exactly, just look at Southwest and Jetblue among others.

United is already under chapter 11 protection, is American also?
