New merger law would not allow Mesaba and Compass to be stapled to the bottom. There is a lot of wishful thinking by some on this forum but my predictions are not based on wishful thinking. They are based on analyzing all the known factors and try predict logically from a business standpoint. Also added insight given to me by a NWA management type who sat next to me on one of my commuting flight to MSP.
All I can say is there will be a major reconsolidation of regionals not owned by NWA/DAL if they are going to survive the post merger.
For the next several years anyway, Mesaba would be a good place to be in.
