Delta: If You Want to Merge, We Keep the Name (Maybe)
Jan 22nd, 2008 | By Jared BlankThe AP is reporting that Delta Air Lines is insisting that, should it merge, the new airline will have the Delta name and be headquartered in Atlanta.
I’ve often said that there’s some truth in every rumor, so I don’t doubt that this issue has come up, but do you really think they’d kill a multi-billion dollar merger and a chance to build a successful company because it won’t be HQ’d in Atlanta? I doubt that, even if I think it’s true that they’d prefer if it were located there. Don’t believe everything you read.
