Yes, but the point is Onex lost the battle to do a hostile takeover of AC. When it lost and withdrew its offer, AC could have just left CP dangling, but Colonette basically forced Milton to buy CP.

I used to be one that thought Milton blew it, but you know what? I thought about it a bit harder... 9/11, Iraq II, and SARS were not his doing. He handled the best he could and sure there are problems and things that he could have done better and what not, but he has done a pretty darn good job.

By the way, isn't your beloved UA still under Chapter 11? Oh, and how long has it been?
