The answer to your winfall question lies in the future of Tokyo, and of the DC-9. The term "winfall" sort of implies something gained at the expense of someone else, so maybe it's disingenuous to use it.
Let's just say that I think the merger is still a plus, but that I think the fNW guys should breathe a sigh of relief if NRT takes it on the chin, considering the B742 is already toast, and the DC-9's are looking a little tanned.
Again, the merger will probably be a win-win, and I have no problem with it. Now that the SLI is settled, a lot of the fables heard at the hearing are being exposed, and fortunately the bed-time stuff isn't turning into a "Nightmare in the North".
