Just days after the Delta takeover of Northwest airlines was approved, It rolled out it's new management team. This gigantic merger was approved quickly, but will it all go smoothly? there is a lot at stake here, and it will take time.
It could take a year or two before the two airlines are entirely merged. As the carriers combine gates at every airport they share, more empty gates will bring less revenue to airports at a time when they need more. Some airport facilities, like snack bars or stores, will see less business. They may be closed, along with the jobs they provided. All small businesses who depend on either carrier of most of their revenue might get a smaller slice, if any.

A Boeing 747, the largest airplane in the Northwest fleet, will be the first to be repainted in Delta colors. How long will it take to integrate all the Northwest pilots, which opposed the merger?, and will they have to take a pay cut? As the loser in this merger, it may be the Northwest employees who will get laid off.
What will happen with overlapping hubs? will they be downsized or shut down. The Northwest Memphis hub has always competed with Delta's fortress hub in Atlanta for southern traffic. The Northwest hub in Detroit competes with Delta's in Cincinnati for eastern traffic. Delta's western hub in Salt Lake is probably safe. In a surprise move, Delta announced new service from both Pittsburgh and Raleigh-Durham to Paris. This is welcome news in Pittsburgh, which had a big cutback by USAirways.
Fares will probably go up where Delta now has a monopoly, but it may be the discount airlines who benefit. Southwest airlines, which has a long history of moving in when others cut back or move out, has already announced it will start Chicago Midway to Minneapolis service in March of 2009, charging much lower fares than Northwest. And JetBlue had been kept out of Atlanta, that might change. Air Tran has been increasing service in Milwaukee, about halfway between the Northwest hubs of Detroit and Minneapolis. The turbulence will continue.

Black Friday Milwaukee 0928-29 28-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 4-Tool Combo Kit Overview
Milwaukee Tools is world-renowned for producing powerful, heavy-duty tools for contractors, mechanics and demanding professionals in every trade. That very same devotion to power, performance and innovation was applied when Milwaukee created the 0928-29 V28 Four-Piece Combo Kit. Included are a hammer-drill/driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, and work light. All four tools are powered by a high-performance 28-volt lithium-ion battery that weighs less than an 18-volt Ni-Cad, yet delivers twice the run time. The battery has a handy "fuel gauge" that shows how much power remains.The hammer-drill/driver has a 1/2-inch keyless chuck and a two-speed, variable-speed motor (zero to 600 rpm, and zero to 1,800 rpm) that delivers a pumped-up 600 in./lbs. of torque. The chuck is equipped with carbide jaws that virtually eliminate bit slippage. There’s no hole too large to drill, or screw too big to drive for this portable powerhouse. And when it’s switched to the hammer mode, this tool will quickly bore through the hardest concrete, brick or stone.
The 6-1/2-inch circular saw is arguably the most powerful cordless saw on the market. According to Milwaukee, this saw can crosscut more than 300 pine 2 by 4s on a single charge. It’s equipped with a high-speed 4,200-rpm motor that chews through wood like a corded saw.
The cordless Sawzall recip saw is an ideal tool for remodelers, plumbers, and electricians. When fitted with the appropriate blade, it’ll cut practically any building material, including nail-embedded wood, metal ducts, plastic pipe, steel rods and roof shingles. Its two-speed, variable-speed motor (zero to 2,000, and zero to 3,000 strokes per minute) lets you choose the optimum cutting speed for the material. The saw has an aggressive 1-1/8-inch stroke length, and is equipped with a tool-free blade clamp and keyless adjustable shoe. The work light comes in handy when working in dark spaces. It has a super-bright xenon bulb that runs over five hours on a single charge.
All four pieces come with the patented Clip-Lok System, which allows you to securely hook the tool onto your belt or tool pouch. Besides the four tools, the 0928-29 combo kit also includes two 28-volt lithium-ion batteries, a one-hour charger, saw blades and screwdriver tips, and an oversized canvas storage bag. -- Joseph Truini
