This is a VERY good thing (being as unbiased as possible). The airline industry is currently falling apart and Delta and NWA fit together like a puzzle, each having hubs in different areas.

Moreover, there is a ripple effect in line now where other major airlines will possibly come together. If it happens, it will happen quickly b/c no one wants to wait and not it passed during this administration and risk having the next Pres. shut it down.
Beside the regulators giving it the A.O.K, the pilot unions have a say as well. And right now, from what I have seen and heard, they do not like it as seniority issue has not been fixed.

Nor has the mileage issue either. Last I heard, looking at lessening the amount of NW but giving more options on use. What ever that means.
