You aren't a student of history, are you? When the LUAL lawyer argued the America West and Delta lists, he employed the same tactic: put forth a list that is realistic and can be defended in court.... NOT a "best hope" proposal. Katz went for the grand slam home run proposal for USAirways and NWA. Lost both badly. We will see how it turns out here, but the LUAL list is absolutely NOT a best hope proposal. If the "indisputable facts" put forth by the LCAL side drove the one-for-one and then staple moonshot, then you are in for a serious surprise. Apply that logic to a merger with Alaska and let me know if it still makes sense.
