Why does Hailintexas care about any of this? He is a SWA hater, anyway!
 
Why do so many WN pilots care?

At the end of the day I think many of us at WN were sad that the F9/SWA deal failed. As a WN FO, I looked forward to having the F9 group join us. It was generally thought that the cultures among our two companies were similar and the F9 people were overall a great group who flight hard to keep their airline alive and take great pride in their product, again a trait that today is atypical in the industry and one which would have meshed well between our two companies.

I guess there was no way mathamatically to have made everyone happy and the outcome of our two companies working together (which would have been a tremendous advantage for both our companies in DEN) will remain an unknown. For me this is kind of sad...
 
Hey Kharma,

SWA bought gates that were for sale in exchange for codeshare. We didn't run your airline and we didn't sell your gates. We didn't shut you down. We didn't put you out of business. We didn't piss off 1,000's of passengers when you locked the doors and stranded them at the outstations.

I'm sorry that you see it otherwise.

Sorry, I work for AirTran.
 
I think it's more shock than anything else. The swa pilots thought this was a good deal. It appeared the f9 pilots could see the potential too. It's not arrogance.
