Delta and Northwest to file Chap. 11 in Same Court Tomorrow?

According to the New York Times, both Northwest and Delta Airlines may file bankruptcy as soon as tomorrow. That will make 4 of the top 7 carriers operating under bankruptcy protection. Since Detroit is a Northwest hub, GM & Ford can't be too pleased about this.

As to Delta - Jay Leno chronicled Delta's decline years ago. It was reflected in their slogans

First it was "Delta: The airline run by professionals." Then it was: Delta; we love to fly, and it shows." Finally it was "Delta: we get you there." As Jay said - "Shut up, sit down. Stop complaining - we got you there didn't we?"
