Very well laid out response!
But on the above quote's point:
Would there have been a Midwest Deal (at rock bottom prices!) without Delta (who could have blocked the sell)?
Selling an airline for "chump change" to someone that is clearly going to turn around and not only take away from your profits (even with a code share), but also make you pay them on the side doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
But then again it is the airline industry.
