That's what they hoped would be true. At this point it's hard to allocate the red ink between economic downturn & elites voting with their feet.
Their service to two continents is tenuous at best. They're scaling back in Australia & way back in Africa.
In the end as the economy recovers, my bet is that DL/NW will not be the sum of DL + NW but only marginally larger than DL + what's left of NW's NRT operations.
