Merger talk: Delta, United mull a marriage (Winging It)

Merger talk: Delta, United mull a marriage

Delta and United are reported to be in merger talks. It's very preliminary, but maybe this is the solution to that dispute over gates at PHL. Delta is set to move tonight into Terminal A-East gates that US Airways wants for its international operations. Perhaps Delta and United will combine and move into Terminal D together (just kidding!) Seriously, don't look for any quick action on this. Airline mergers need a close examination by federal regulators and can take time to sort out, especially if there are routes where competition will be reduced.
