Time will tell.
NWA Press Release.

". . . . . . Neal Cohen who will be executive vice president strategy, international and CEO-regional airlines. Cohen will have lead responsibility for strategy development, manage NWA’s international passenger and cargo businesses, and oversee NWA’s wholly owned regional carriers. Cohen will report to Doug Steenland, Northwest president and CEO."


The centralization of management and intergration of owned regionals has started. Which names will survive ? IMHO - only NWA. The words Compass and Mesaba will be history in a year.
