Looks like Knotek, Liu, Anderson (no, not that one), Stanoch and Schaeffer are hittin' the bricks.

With NW's #1 cheerleader leaving, who will take our pictures now?

I have a question will this effect the somewhat smoothness of the merger and combining ops so far?

I thought they all were... My guess is they changed things up due to both the speed of the merger's progression, and the economy's downturn.

Crystal Knotek. She spends (spent?) a LOT of time traveling to stations and getting her picture taken with local employees, as well as espousing her "hooray for everything!" mantra.

Question was curious about something floating around an Atlanta site. Is there any validity to the rumor of Delta looking at moving Corp HQ to NYC? I think its laughable but just curious if anyone has heard anything. Disclaimer...not trying to start a battle royal with in this thread Smile

So much for the populist argument that NW is really running the show.

Yikes, quite a shakeup. Is there any reason given to these layoffs? Good luck to everyone but I'll be anxious to see who is brought in to take their places.

FWIU these positions will NOT be filled..Eliminated. Good to see they are reducing upper management as well.

I suppose so. I want DL to be profitable but I hate to see people lose their jobs at the same time. I guess we'll see what happens!

The reasons stated were: The speed/progress of the merger, and the economy. They won;t be replaced per se, but rather other people already in place will be taking on their duties.

I cannot possibly imagine what benefit this would bring, except moving to a neutral site (ATL vs MSP). Taxes in NY for NY corporations would be a killer......

Most of these people knew months ago that they were being retained merely to provide transition into the new DL. Despite arguments on here that the merger would be frought with disasters and problems, it has gone remarkably well.

DL is simply telling some of the transition people that their services are not needed as long as previously expected. Don't worry, though; these people undoubtedly agreed to stay on this long in return for retention bonuses. You'll remember that NW revealed spending tens of millions of dollars on the day the merger was announced in order to keep key people employed through the transition.

In most cases, the DL people departed months ago so it looked like NW people were being retained while DL people were being pushed out. The field is leveling out now.

Maybe Delta will move the HQ to South Dakota. Taxes are cheap there. old
