We made clear that we were concerned about the perception of an agreement with the AFA. The perception that a big company from corporate America had made a pact with an extremist organization was very worrying.

We came into agreement that although not all of our reasoning was accepted, they did agree on part of it and said something needed to be done to fix it.

We were close. We just don't have an agreement on all terms.

We're very excited. We are pleased that we were able to work something out. . . . Both sides were in agreement we wanted to do the best for Washington Township and the students of Washington Township, and we think we found a way to do that.

Northwest was our first code share partner and this exclusive new agreement ensures their customers will continue to receive the very best service available when traveling between the islands.

Clearly the perception, in my view, is that the company is the next acquisition target.
