J.P. Morgan also listed the airlines it thinks are at Chapter 11 risk, from lowest to highest:

Southwest Airlines (LUV)
Alaska Air Lines (ALK)
Delta Air Lines (DAL)
AirTran (AAI)
Continental (CAL)
JetBlue (JBLU)
American Airlines parent AMR Corp. (AMR)
United Airlines parent UAL Corp. (UAUA)
Northwest Airlines (NWA)
U.S. Airways (LCC).

Wow, looks like NWA is pretty far down the list. I'm pretty sure the arbitrator will take this analysis into account.

But what happened to the "great balance sheet" they're always bragging about? Remember, DAL needs NWA in order to survive...right, guys?
I would like to know what criteria they used to determine this list, who knows how arbitrary it is, maybe the guy writing it owns some stock of the top listed airlines.
