Hi!
In case you missed it when TGP bought Midwest they publicly said that NWA put in "some capital" in the deal. It turned out NWA bought 49% of Midwest, just so it would'nt be a "merger".
Many pilots pointed out that, at the time this buyout occurred, DAL and NWA were already cooperating, so the whole thing may have been orchestrated by DAL (or Air France???) mgmt from the beginning.

PS-Just met a Martinair crew. Did not know they were owned by KLM.
It is now: Air France/KLM/DAL/NWA/Mesaba/Comair/Compass/Martinair/Kenya Airways/Precision Air/???/???. One big corporate conglomerate.
