Big Sky is already a NW partner. This by the way spells disaster for Mesaba Airlines employees. It's pretty clear the way Mesaba Holdings is taking this venture. Their cost structure is the perfect entity to bid for CRJs to aid in growing NW or other airlines.... at the expence of the hard working employees that made all the cash for Mesaba Holdings. This is the beginning of really bad times at the airlinks of NW.
