I am forwarding this with permission. Anyone hear about this? This is definitely NOT good for the National if it happens! Ginger Cleary, Rome, GA Never underestimate the ability of the hypocritical to hoodwink the sanctimonious. www.rihadin.com -----Original Message----- I don't know how many of you have heard of the proposed merger that US Air has made to acquire Delta Airlines after they emerge from bankruptcy this year. I urge you all to think about this, and the service that Delta gives 'us' pet/showdog owners and to write to Delta and the FDA asking them NOT to go through with this merger/acquisition and giving your reasons! If US Air takes over Delta, there will be no more Delta Dash Pet, you will no longer be able to fly your pet Cargo either. US Air did away with any pet travel over a year ago and will do so with Delta after they acquire them as well. In a time when we are losing hotels, and now airlines are taking away needed services as well we have to make our positions known. Personally, I have refused to fly US Air since they refused to carry animals. Even on trips I want to take without animals. I have written to them and explained my situation and sent my airmiles back to them! I have told them WHEN they allow animals again then and only then will I come back to US Air. I continue to receive "we're so sorry your unhappy but please come back, WE MISS YOU" notes. And once again I write them when they allow animals to fly again, only then.
