I think that is, more or less, how Pfizer has operated for years. In all my time in that industry I have never heard of them doing anything other than a Chainsaw Al deal (save certain aspects of Wyeth).
I am really interested to see how this works - common practice has been to take on the airframes and integrate businesses, which in the NW/DL debacle we can see a great example of FAIL. Maybe this will, at least partially, change the way airline management sees the target carrier.
