So say you. If this "leak" as its being termed it true, its one more time DAL will invest in the SE Wisconsin Market.

DAL and NWA have a long history in MKE. Back in the day you saw Whales and DC-10's in MKE for NWA. Investments in MEH, commitments to MKE after that, then a final pullout a few years ago.

In comes in F9 to buy MEH, they try to make a go of it, fail miserably, and disband all hints of MEH, the on-board cookies were last. Their promise of hundreds of jobs in MKE did not come true.

It's just an investment in the naming rights of a building, but now that F9 and SWA are slugging it out there it is of an interesting note that DAL would consider this.

Now sure what F9 would bring to DAL mainline. I can see SKW buying them and then DAL wanting a domestic code share agreement with them. The miles from F9 already transfer to Skymiles. There has been a few of these less notable developments over the last year or so.
