Executive
Summary • Delta’s plan for emerging from bankruptcy provides creditors with
value superior to the US Airways proposal-DOJ is not likely to approve the
merger -proposed combination is highly anticompetitive and would harm consumers
and communities-Overwhelming labor and cultural issues put merger at risk-US
Airways claimed merger synergies based on flawed economic assumptions-Merger
would create airline with the highest debt load in the industry-A US Airways
merger would unwind Delta’s progress and result in excessive integration risk •
US Airways/Delta merger would require an extended timeline that is uncertain
and
costly • US Airways would be a poor strategic fit for Delta

Standalone
Plan Creates Significant Value • In the past 15 months, Delta has delivered on
its commitments-Created financial stability-Transformed business mode l • Plan
of reorganization positions Delta as a strong competitor on a standalone
basis •
Performance achieved through best-in-class CASM performance, coupled with
dramatic improvement in unit revenues • Result is a plan that creates
substantial value for our creditors and future shareholders • The value of the
standalone plan is far superior to that offered by US Airways-Delta’s Board of
Directors has rejected the US Airways’proposal

We
are Delivering on our Commitments …having significant impact Three pillars of
Delta’s Transformation plan ... Closing RASM Gap • Right-size domestic capacity
• Greater international mix • Improved operations and customer service 1 Repair
Balance Sheet • Improved liquidity • Unsecured debt, fleet & facility
restructuring 2 Best-in-Class Costs • Improved productivity • Streamlined fleet
• Renegotiated contracts 3 • Closing gap from 86% of industry average to
94%...will achieve industry parity by 2008 • Reduction of net debt from $17B to
$7.6B in 2007…with continued reductions in future years • Eliminated
approximately $2B from cost structure; best-in-class unit
costs

Transformation
progress…• Closing the revenue gap • Best-in-class cost structure • Top-tier

Delta’s
Plan for Emerging from Bankruptcy Provides Creditors with Value Superior
to the
US Airways Proposal Labor Risk • Labor and cultural issues put merger at
risk-Significant labor group integration challenges-Labor contract
incompatibilities Regulatory Risk • DOJ not likely to approve the
merger-Significantly reduces competition-Harms consumers and small communities
Assumption Risk • US Airways claimed merger synergies premised on flawed
economic assumptions Financial Risk • Merger would create airline with highest
debt load in a fragile industry Integration Risk • Unwinds progress under
Transformation Plan • Forces three-way integration of US Airways, America West
and Delta5 Sources of Risk Reduce Value of US Airways’ Offer

DOJ
Not Likely to Approve Proposed Merger Because it is Highly Anticompetitive
• US
Airways and Delta hubs and networks highly overlapping • US Airways/Delta merger
would substantially reduce competition and would create-Nearly 2,000 incremental
city pairs with over 90% US Airways/Delta passenger share-Over 9,500 city
pairs
with reductions of competition that create a presumption of market power
under
DOJ Merger Guidelines-12 nonstop monopoly routes-The largest carrier along
the
entire U.S. East Coast and the Mountain West • Proposed merger is far more
anticompetitive than the attempted US Airways/United Airlines merger rejected
by
the DOJ after a 14-month review • Competitive problems with US Airways/Delta
merger would not be solved by low cost carriers •Merger-related service
reductions would have significant adverse impact on consumers and small
communities Regulatory Risk

increased fares or loss of service based on previous actions following the

Proposed
Merger Would Likely Be Challenged by Regulators Conclusion • Proposed merger is
anticompetitive because of-Overlapping networks-Significant reduction of
competition on thousands of city pairs-Domination of more than 70 cities
and 3
key East Coast airports • Proposed merger would be more anticompetitive than the
attempted US Airways/United Airlines merger in terms of-Dominated city
pairs-Unacceptable decreases in competition-Overlapping nonstop
routes-Overlapping hubs • Contrary to US Airways’ claims, these competitive
problems would not be solved by-Low cost carrier entry-Claimed
efficiencies-Divestitures Regulatory Risk US Airways/Delta merger will have
serious adverse consequences for consumers and small communities US
Airways/Delta merger will have serious adverse consequences for consumers
and
small communities

US
Airways Has Significantly Understated the Labor and Cultural Risk of the
Proposed Merger(1) Company analysis Labor Risk • Labor integration still not
complete between America West and US Airways-Only recently started arbitration
process for integrating America West/US Airways pilot seniority lists-US
Airways
has completed only one labor contract covering a merged employee group • Labor
issues surrounding Delta transaction are overwhelming -the transaction would
present-9 disputes over union representation -10 disputes over seniority
integration -9 negotiations (potentially) for single labor agreements • With a
~10% capacity and ~180 aircraft reduction, labor implications would be
significant -~10,000 jobs eliminated(1)-~900 mainline pilot jobs
eliminated(1)

Merger
“Synergies” at the Expense of Employees • Impact on seniority and job security
of the remaining employees would have serious consequences-Hostile workforce,
potential job actions-Poor customer service-Inefficient operations Merger
would
result in the loss of ~10,000 jobs and ~180 aircraft Merger would result
in the
loss of ~10,000 jobs and ~180 aircraft • Delta pilot contract does not allow for
a reduction of scheduled pilot block hours below pre-merger levels-Directly
conflicts with US Airways’ proposal to reduce capacity of the combined network
by ~10%-Cannot achieve synergies as proposed Proposed reduction of flying
is
incompatible with the Delta pilot contract Proposed reduction of flying is
incompatible with the Delta pilot contract Negative labor synergies of the
proposed merger outweigh proposed cost synergies Negative labor synergies
of the
proposed merger outweigh proposed cost synergies Labor Risk

“This
failure [to integrate US Airways and America West] calls into question their
ability to successfully merge three airlines, continue to serve their
passengers, deliver dividends to their investors, and maintain a motivated
employee base .”John McIlvenna, America West Master Executive Council Chairman,
December 2006Employees Opposed to a US Airways/Delta Merger Labor unrest

Council Member, The Boston Globe, 11/23/06

Proposed
Merger Synergies Premised On US Airways’ Flawed Economic Assumptions • Merger
benefits premised on reducing capacity of the combined airlines by 10% -As
a
result, total revenues will be less than the sum of the two standalone
carriers-Assumes an unachievable level of fixed cost savings without the
elimination of hubs or furlough of employees-This is an unrealistic assumption
-benefits are overstated and unsustainable • Substantial network synergies have
already been realized through Delta’s Transformation Plan • US Airways cost
savings unrealistic as currently portrayed • One-time costs would exceed $1B •
Additionally, many negative synergies are not reflected in US Airways’
projections, further reducing merger value-Increased fleet complexity-Loss
of
alliance value-Decline in customer service-Labor cost negative synergies
associated with integration Assumption Risk Also Excludes Significant Negative
Synergies

Additional
Negative Synergies Are Not Reflected in US Airways’ Projections • Merger
combines two different fleets -Boeing and Airbus fleet-No common aircraft/engine
combination between the two fleets • Increased fleet complexity would add six
steps to the pilot training ladder Increased fleet complexity Increased fleet
complexity • Divestitures of slots and gates at New York-LaGuardia and
Washington-Reagan National airports would be larger than US Airways suggests-US

US
Airways Merger Would Unwind Delta’s Progress and Result in Excessive Integration
Risk • Merger would reverse improvements gained through Transformation
Plan-Reverses international diversification efforts-Substantially increases
fleet complexity and increases training pipeline • Merger would involve
integration of three airlines -US Airways/America West merger not nearing
completion, as management claims-Virtually all labor contracts remain in
negotiation-IT consolidation proving more difficult than anticipated Integration
Risk

Although
Doug Parker Stated That the America West/ US Airways Integration Was On Track,
SEC Filings DisagreeIntegration Risk • “We have encountered complications and
difficulties in integrating some of the Company’s automated systems and have not
completed those integration efforts, including efforts to combine our two
computerized airline reservation systems...” • “[US Airways/America West] face
significant challenges in consolidating functions, integrating their
organizations, procedures and operations in a timely and efficient manner
and
retaining key Company personnel...” • “Some of our unions have brought grievance
arbitrations in the context of the labor integration process. Unions may
bring
additional court actions or grievance arbitrations and may seek to compel
us to
engage in the bargaining process...”In the Spring of 2006, Parker took an
optimistic stance on integration efforts.....but a recent SEC filing(2) told
the
real story • “We are exceptionally pleased with where we are”(1)-Doug Parker,
CEO US Airways (March 2006) • “We are making tremendous progress with our
integration in all areas"(1)-Doug Parker, CEO US Airways (March 2006) (1)The

restructuring activities would lengthen timeline past regulatory
review

US
Airways Would Be a Poor Strategic Fit for Delta Provides no “new” value • Highly
overlapping networks create “synergies” by shrinking -therefore, combination
does not offer new value to customers Unwinds progress made against
Transformation • Reverses international revenue diversification strategy •
Increases fleet complexity • Puts at risk the gains made in operational and
customer service performance • Loads up the balance sheet with debt Does not
create competitive advantage • Does not close existing gaps in each network
(e.g. West Coast, Asia) • Combined entity would be left in a weak strategic
position
