Mel Sharples said:In any case, I grow less excited by the day and a lot more nervous. Somehow I think this whole deal is going to turn into a giant turd in the punchbowl.
It sure was fun for a few days to think that we actually may have a shot at some good news but Mel is right the longer this goes on the less exciting this gets.
I think this has nothing to do with NW and is more flying for another carrier using the Big Sky certificate.
Probably though in about a week we will get an announcement saying "both sides tried to work on something but it fell through and will not be happening. However, due to confidentiality agreements signed we cannot tell you what it was. Please continue to fly safe and focus on our cost metrics moving forward year over year blah blah blah...."
