Yes, but that is mere potato chips, if he can pull off a merger/have Delta take over NWA. That will be a BIG payday for him and the whole NWA board! It is not about airline survival (plays well in the media,) it about following the money. Or shall I say watching the golden parachutes that will unfold once a merger deal is done. Seen it before in other businesses and I am sure we will see it with NWA. When the big money gets wavied in front of the board, it will be yes sir,yes sir, three bags full!
