This makes a lot of sense.
I wonder if there's a possibility that if NK does go into bankruptcy (which i personally don't think will happen) a situation could arise where Indigo is able to play our labor groups against each other?
If NK goes chapter 11, they will try and get pay cuts and contact gutting and then they could try and do the other RJ whipsaw thing and play us against them.
