Unless you want a presence in the Far East, which is NWA's int'l bread and butter. Lotsa flights to Japan, India, and other countries in that general vicinity. I THINK they even got a slot to Shanghai out of DTW. Makes since if you're looking to get a foothold in that part of the world, esp as quickly as it's developing.
I keep hearing the PCL buying CMR rumor around here, but I just don't see it as having any legs. We're still battling over the whole Colgan issue. The last thing we need is a third airline to possibly integrate into a seniority list. Then again, that didn't stop US Airways from making the attempt.
I think Delta might be delaying the sale b/c they can't find a buyer.
