Delta and Northwest airlines are merging

[yesthattom]

Ah yes! Read any MBA textbook and you'll see that the secret to a good merger is that you take two companies that are dysfunctional, throw them together, and things magically get fixed. Oh wait... that's the opposite of what the textbooks say. Wow, this is gonna suck.

I guess the upside is it means there'll be one less overpaid CEO out there.

It could be worse. Neither of them is run by Carly Fiorina.

I've never flown Northwest, but Delta is evil. Good riddance to both of them.
