I agree with that, but it also seems to me (and please remember, I'm in accounting...not law...for the time being) that NW's emergence from BK would allow CO a way to buy out - or buy back - their golden share.

But then again, if CO's doing the buying than I don't really think NW can do anything... unless CO moves to organize themselves into a holding corp (a la AMR and American).

Neat stuff either way

So that's what I've been hearing
