From what I have seen of both mag and SKW, MAG could never hope to operate at a performance level approaching SKW's. They mistreat their employees, who then fail to put forth much effort at crunch time...gee I wonder why.
I suspect that DAL has all the evidence they need...when I worked at MAG my observations led me to believe that operational performance numbers were generated by falsifying OOOI times. It would not take much effort to document that if DAL cared to do so.
The injunction was granted because MAG would liquidate without the DAL flying, not because there was any merit to the case. MAG will need to show some merit at this injunction hearing.
On the bright side, MAG stock is up 23%! Unfortunately that is only $0.03
