UA talks get serious for merger with Delta

The Delta Air Lines talks with the United Airlines are getting serious. The United Airlines and the Northwest Airlines are competing to get the final bid over the Delta Air Lines.

The Delta Air Lines is talking to both the competitors UAL Corp. that is a Chicago-based parent of UA and Northwest Airlines which is a Minneapolis-based airline company.
