It will be interesting to see how this goes. For Delta, they gain a more extensive route network in Asia.

What do you think will happen to the combined NWA/DL fleet? I wonder if it will be streamlined?

The main differences I see are:

NWA- DC9, A320, A330, B747
DL- MD88/90, B737, B767, B777

Really, the only aircraft they have in common is the 757.

Thanks

Woops, forgot that 767 should really be on the common type list, although NWA doesn't actually have any, just 757 commonality.
