That sounds good, but how are you gonna make em? If you can't make your credit card payments, some companies will take 0.50 on the dollar. Do you think they give you that deal if you're making money? ----------------

True - the companies may take 0.50 on the dollar for what is owed them for past services, but they also will have the right to refuse to serve these airlines (U, UAL, etc) in the future, or do so at a new rate (which will not be at a 50% discount, I can guarantee you that). So all NW is demanding is that if they start selling their services to U again at a lower rate than before, that NW gets the same rate. This actually isn't unreasonable, and they shouldn't have that much trouble getting these discounts.
