USAirways Seem to Force the Issue
January 10, 2007
USAirways Increases Offer to Buy Delta Air Lines | online.wsj.com
• The management of Delta is holding on, but the Delta creditors need to get paid, regardless of who the management is.
• Consulting with Gordon Bethune (former Continental CEO) probably led to a move of putting in the highest offer by USAirways, and concluding that this has been taking too much time already. Doug Parker has an airline to run.
• Spending up for Delta, USAirways will have higher debt service, and needs to achieve its efficiencies. -
Continental and Northwest looked at it before
December 13, 2006
Continental Shares Rise on Merger Talk | news.airwise.com
• Northwest Airlines' "golden share" is an obstacle for Continental to seek M&A with anyone but NWA
• Continental can defend against bids if needed with strong management and over $2 billion cash
• In 2000 the Justice Department forced Northwest Airlines to sell down its stake in Continental Airlines http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases/f6100/6161.htm
• One wonders how much the creditors at NWA would take for the "golden share"
