SummarySince the September 11th terrorist attacks, the airline industry has struggled to make notable financial headway. Many of the top carriers in the United States have fallen into bankruptcy or proposed mergers with regional carriers as a means to reduce losses (Fiorino, 2005). Regardless of the specific path chosen for financial development, most of the top airlines have had to live with notable changes to their culture and development. Such is the case with Delta Airlines. Although research clearly shows that Delta Airlines has been able to make strong financial gains while under bankruptcy protection, the tenuous nature of the airline industry, coupled with increases in fuel costs and notable labor problems in the organization have created a situation in which Delta Airlines is currently on the brink of financial collapse (Shields, 2005).
