Good points. What did you think of Hoeksma refusing to deal with Leonard back in 2006-2007? Do you think Hoeksma realized that the final price for Midwest would climb so high (over $400 million)? In the end, the Northwest/TPG deal was finalized to the benefit of the MEH shareholder and detriment of the Midwest employees. I think it is very important to study history to make sure past mistakes are prevented in the future as much as possible.
In 2007 Leonard said that AAI had been talking to Midwest for three years. When asked what the main issue was he replied "ego". Some joker asked "whose ego" ? He chuckled and replied " theirs". I actually think he might have been telling the truth.
One thing is true; 'Little timmy' made out like a bandit. The rest is history.
