Bingo!!! Imagine being the leasee of the Avro:
Either you renegotiate the Avro lease or you get them back and make 0, nada, nothin'.
It's just playing hard ball and Northwest are the masters at the game. Still thinking the Avros are gone just yet.
My God there are pearls of wisdom on this board after all.
