Last Updated:

Given the costs and risks of a consolidation, the endless lines of angry customers, the strikes by unions, and the broken computer systems, Delta (DAL) may rue the decision to buy Northwest.
Now another merger may be in the offing, this one between British Airways and Qantas. It is hard to imagine where the big savings would be. At least both managements speak English.
