I loved the video- KUDOS to NWA. You guys always know where you are going even through the roughest times. Best of luck to one of the worlds greatest airline!!

Tell me 'bout it.

My recollection is that it was the summer of 2000 when Carty refused to pay the rumoured $100/share for NWA; it had closed at less than $25 the day before UAL announced the USAir purchase. AA apparently offered $44 or so but NWA wanted more like $100. Would have been several billion more.

Here's an article that conforms to my ancient old geezer memory: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn41...13/ai_n10139325

Still, if UAL announces a big merger deal with DL or CO, I predict that Arpey will be hard pressed to ignore NWA.

NW's market cap is only about $4.2B today. Not that expensive if AA wants to go shopping.

Market cap is fluid and has no real importance (no value when one is looking to qualify for a purchase in the Billions) when the banks look at the books for lending Billions . Your EBITDA is what's significant, that's what they will lend money on, not your daily mak. cap. So I'd rethink that shopping spree!

AMR-Enterprise Value/EBITDA (ttm)3: $5.083
(EV $12.2B, with a daily MC of $5.2)

NWA-Enterprise Value/EBITDA (ttm)3: $5.151
(Enterprise val. $8.2 B, a lot different than $4.2)
