There are a lot of variables but it is quite not as bad as that. Actually, I think based on current picture it is possible to project what is likely to happen with a fairly good accuracy. If NWA/DAL merges, it will maintain regionals owned by NWA and DAL based what it can do for them domestically. Regionals it cannot control with a reasonable amount of certainty or the ones it feels is a potential liability, it will try to disentangle itself from.
