ya eaglefly we will see.
You have to remember too though at NW, both Compass and Mesaba were owned by the company. Also at DL ASA was owned by DL. I am not sure but I think when CAL did CH11 in the 90s ExpressJet was owned by them.
The cycle is changing this decade though, its not going to look like the last 10 years, if you can't think this way, your just going to keep saying oh wow I didnt see that coming. The tides have changed for a new cycle.
