I would call those "ties" to NWA.
The E170 hanger in SDF also raises eyebrows.
I wouldn't call those ties. Each his own though. Why would the hanger is SDF raise eyebrows that's what compass flies.
The fact that "This has been rumored for a long time" doesn't build any credibility. The writing is on the wall. If RAH is going to pick up someone the best bet is Comair. They own $91mil of them already. Probably an even higher probability they'll just say they are going to purchase someone as our contract negotiations nears to keep the pilot group at bay.
