Well, if they aren't careful, they could end up with Eastern.

The unions at Eastern were somewhat violent and stupid. They promised that they would last one day longer than the airline and they did, most of them losing a pay level they would never see again. There was also the wrongly vilified Frank Lorenzo, who was banned by Congress from ever owning an airline again. I don't think Northwest and Delta quite have those negatives.
