Are you serious? Yep, lets keep an airline that has 100's of millions of dollars invested by NWA, now DAL so Airtran can't have it. Brilliant!
Airtran's liquidity is not very strong, the credit market is drying or has dried up. So if Aitran wants Midwest, let them have them for price. The US market is much weaker than when Airtran tried to buy them. A LOT has changed.
If DAL/NWA are afraid of competing with a US domestic carrier, then we have a lot to worry about............
With that logic, I guess DAL ought to buy Airtran so SWA's can't.
