Last year US Airways’ attempt to acquire Delta Air Lines spurred countless airline consolidation talks within the industry and on Wall Street.

We’re only days into 2008 and Delta mergers are again all over the news.

I won’t get into they-should-or-shouldn’t-they debate: that is a well-established discussion and one need only refer to US Airways and America West to see how the story unfolds. I will, however, refer you to a good article published today in the NY Times looking at the business case (or lack of) for an airline merger.
