I would not go that far. NWA would have been fine as a stand alone and with 50% of our list going away within the next 5-10 years, many of us would have been a lot better off as a stand alone.
That being said, most people are living with the list and grumbling a little but plan to get over it. So far here in Narita, beer has been the answer.
Fortunately, I don't see this list being something we have to hear about on the flight deck for the next 20 years.
