Delta Air Lines to Buy Minority Gol Stake for $100 Million

Get their foot in the door then buy the whole thing. Delta is out to be the worlds biggest airline. They control over 80% of the gates here at Minneapolis/St Paul International Airport and that has the bad effect of keeping ticket prices higher then other airports, even Denver International has cheaper fares then here. I have nothing against Delta expanding I just wish ticket prices were a bit cheaper here at KMSP so I could fly more.

If anyone has seen the new GE Aviation commercial, this plane is featured in it during a takeoff

This will be a good deal for Delta from the South to North end of the equation. They will get a lot of feeder traffic currently going to Houston and Miami and onward. Don't know they need the two 767s...one is a 200 and likely going to the desert.

Its too bad that all the BIG airlines have such deep POCKETS. Its called GREED! Just like the Government, GREED, need there be more said. Soon the price of tickets will be so high, that any normal person won't be able to afford the ticket.

I smell merger........eventually
And guess what will come with that? Outsoursing.....Many support systems such as Flight Crews, Cabin Crews,Ground and such.....Lower Labor Cost! Watch out Labor Groups!
