Yes, you are correct. I think the numbers on infrastructure and equipment that I have seen for NWA was in the ball part of 25-40 billion. ( Aircraft and new facilities at MEM and MSP) There airframes (DC-9 and early A-320's 747-400's) are in need of replacement. Delta knows this and is still willing to go along with it. These financial whiz kids know what they are doing. I have talked to a few and each time they keep stating that their lack of fleet is a small issue compared to the revenue that this mega carrier will bring in. Basically all of that bad is out weighted by the revenue stream that we will have.
