Thanks for that. NWA is 42% of our size, but gets 50% of the growth. NWA has the fleets most at risk for parking, but because of DOH gets protections. NWA has the most paper airplanes (wanna bet whether or not any of those current 787's EVER show up on the property due to performance issues?) but want credit for any 777's as replacements. NWA currently has substantially fewer widebodies as a percentage of fleet, but gets access to the Delta order book.

The merger is done. The SLI is ugly. I hope the arbitrators are wise men.
