delta grasp northwest raises sale seems
Northwest seems to have a better grasp on what it's doing than Delta does. Delta raises fares and announces a sale at the same time. Northwest is making the adjustments they have to.

If not controlled, it could mean delays and disgruntled passengers. It's critical that this tension be stopped as quickly as possible.
