NO - we looked at those planes when we got the six DC10s from Northwest and did not want them - we got NWAs best - we might be looking at other DC10s

Looks to me that they are simply looking for business-not giving up airplanes.

Unless the definition has changed, a wet lease is includes the crew. Isn't that the line of work Omni and others do? If so, good for them.
