ill go head and disagree.

if the acquisition went thru- not a merger mind you, do you honestly think that sw would have employed frontier every one --guys and girls-- look what happened to ATA. for job protection, it's better that rah got them-- at least this way they will stil be flying.

SWA would have acquired them, and phased them out for the market share, used their good gates to get into new markets- like atl, start some new denver service and sold their planes to someone else-- plain and simple.

I agree with you, and SWA said exactly that during their conference call. A reporter from the USA today or WSJ asked about how many employees would be rehired and the answer was something to the effect of "obviously some of them would be offered employment after they re-interview". A majority of the company employees were going to be let go.

A small group of the F9 pilots would have benefited, but no where near enough to justify the destruction.

With that being said, RAH has a lot of potential to suck as well.

Moving on....
