[RTC List] Fwd: Announcing Northwest's merger with Delta Air Lines

Tue Apr 15 16:09:49 PDT 2008

I've heard nothing but "full steam ahead" (or more appropriately "full Jet-A
ahead") on Delta.  BTW, took a hardhat tour of the new terminal today and
it's going to be great.

On another note, I priced out a trip to Austin, Texas for a weekday trip for
next September. Both United and Delta were priced at $374 out of Arcata.
