Watch NWA moves with Midwest Airlines. They will shortly (today ?) own about 47% ( through an investment company) but "will not" influence operations. I'm glad. Afraid NWA would stop the hot fresh chocolate chip cookie service.

47% is a short distance from 51%. Aircraft are highly "mobile assets" and can be sold or traded quickly. 405 experienced pilots are a gold mine. We could have a NWA/Compass/Midwest/Mesaba mix.

Food for thought: Do the new Mesaba and Compass airline aircraft ovens
have the capability to bake fresh chocolate chip cookies ?
