Northwest Bidding for Midwest

[bizzum]

Don't count out "Eastshore Aviation" (Air Wisconsin holdings company) out either. They just happen to be sitting on an extra 500 million made off of the US Air deal.

Heyas,


Midwesterners have a quirky penchant for their region, states, towns and institutions. They will go to great lengths to defend what they consider to be "local folk" and they hold a grudge for a long time, and are probably the only people that would refuse a low fair because of it.

You got it. There are no Wal Marts in Chicago proper because of this.

Maybe it has to do with Chicago wanting workers to make a "living wage."

Looks like it's a moot point.

Wal Marts suck, period.

I don't patronize them. They are filled with cheap Chinese junk, and the dregs of society. . . . with sagging tube-tops and cammo pajamas, they cruise the aisles, caked with blue eye shadow and last year's "ass antlers" tattoo displayed across their mighty backsides-

No . . . .I'd much rather shop for a higher-grade of Chinese junk elsewhere, like Target. At least there, I might have a chance of avoiding the child beating in aisle 5 and the urinary-catheter bag spill on aisle 3. . . . but probably not.

well...it looks like NWA & private equity

I think the shareholders will do fine but probably not the airline. Oh well, at least Timmeh will not have to resign and let Joe Leonard run the company.

We shall see.
