AirTran and SWA?????

[critterair2]

Don't be surprised if SW isn't looking at NK. Fleet's different, wouldn't be hard to move 30 Airbus's. Convert those to 73's. Want to go international look at NK's route structure. NK's CASM is lower than SW and AAI. Customer service would have to change thou. That would be easy since they are all outsourced except for a very few. Whatever happens when SW pulls the plug we will all be saying, wow didn't see that one coming. JMHO.

Thats the problem their CASM is lower. So what happens when you digest them and pay your pay rates? The CASM goes way up and the RASM stays right where it is..........not good

Spirit makes way more sense than AT as far as SWA codeshare or purchase targets. Just think of all that Caribbean + Central/South America stuff they do out of FLL. If Gary K. gets his way it'd be strictly a code share, so the fleet type isn't a factor. The $6Billion question for most of us SWA guys isn't who our next code share is, it's how we stop the codeshare explosion.

We will know when we stroll up to the jetway and are greeted by either Elton John, Danica, Foxy, Flip, Big Salmon or AK Colleen, Checkerboard, or Blue Job.

Until then, enjoy your days off.

is delta still crushing the idea of opening up dobbins to dual use?
swa has been into that idea for a long time
AT would open up hartsfield in a HUGE way-- but i think the price would have to be right. And the last acquisition was morris, right? i'd heard that Herb wanted to interview their pilots- but swapa took up for them-- but there was drama in the end that left swapa w/ a bad taste (?)(others can speak better on the subject). In any case, it'd be naive to think swa, both as company and pilot group wouldnt be in the driver's seat-- and the lessons of morris and past acquisitions would be applied in the case

I doubt SWA will merge with or acquire AirTran, but if it does, the law will apply, and the law states that a "fair and equitable" seniority merge will apply. I doubt that an Arbiter would consider re-interviewing "fair and equitable." Of course the average AirTran pilot would be far better off in five years even if they were stapled to the bottom of SWA's seniority list.
