Yes, that was the only one I could think of that would be close. I can remember flying Western as a kid.

Here's another article which kind of talks about both sides of the issue that I thought was interesting...

I think it's interesting that DoJ has still to aprove NWA's investment in Midwest Airlines. DoJ is looking at that transaction (I do expect them to approve it) as a buyout by NWA. They continue to hold up approval, although it appears to be on track for the end of the month. But if they are looking at a relatively small purchase in that level of detail, I wonder what a review of a Delta/NWA transaction would take...
