Delta/Northwest merger explained … sort of

I have nothing to add to all the talk about the Delta/Northwest merger other than:

• I’m glad my meager Northwest miles will still count.
• We’ll no longer have “Northwest” to come to RFD and leave suddenly. Maybe Delta will keep up the tradition in a few years.
• Airfare will probably go up as consolidation continues.
• Well at least neither closed down.

Here are three interesting takes on the news (warning: the first two have … colorful … language):
