Heh yeah, that would be bad, huh? Thing is, that may not snap their partnership, but could strain it. Thing is, FlyI is doing VERY badly since they've had to basically develop a sales infrastructure, which Mesaba doesn't have at this point since NW sells all their tix.

They also had to market their fares MUCH below profitability just to get noticed..
