One question, what is the relevance of NW as a stand alone? The answer, none. As for the hypothetical NW stand alone, hypothetically the 742s and cargo were not making money, why would they have kept it stand alone but not merged? As shown in the arbitration briefs, the DC-9s
were in rapid draw-down and RJ's
were replacing that flying in many markets.....but even all that is beside the point....the question was, since it
appears there will be (according to Nu) a draw-down in fNWA equipment, is that a "good deal" for you, and a bad deal for fDL?
