Not all the time. I actually heard rumblings of the Colgan buy-out about a week before it actually happened. I got a good chuckle out of it.....until it happened.

And yeah. Steenland has more or less said NWA wants to be bought, not merged. Not sure what that means for us since they "merger" clause in our ASA with NWA only had stipluations for when NWA was in bankruptcy (they could take the 17 they were giving us, which are now at Mesaba anyway, plus another 24 but that was the max), but now that NWA is out of the sham bankruptcy there's not really any kind of contract language.
