Parker does not want the 50 seat jet and AWAC would have had to find work real fast or fold. Plus RAH would have had as hard of a time for those E145/170/175s with scope at UAL/DAL... So please do not kid yourself.
I don't recall saying that they did it as a favor. Of course they didn't, it was a business decision which worked out very well for those two companies. I'm only trying to point out that these ideas of a staple work both ways. Nobody wants to be stapled when they are the one being acquired, but everybody yells for the stapler when it's the other way around. Being wholly owned doesn't exclude you from this. Don't kid yourself.
