Two pilot groups had the opportunity to do something great, and failed.
There is quite a lot of propaganda and hyperbole surrounding the SWA/F9 bid. I have been a big proponent of the SWA path, for obvious reasons. Unfortunately it did not materialize. Disappointing to say the least.
What I find almost as disappointing is the pathetic back and forth between what I hope are not actual, living, breathing professional pilots that work for F9 or SWA. Come on people. You do not know the facts. You may have been provided one side of the story, but a majority of what I have read on here regarding the "negotiations" is significantly flawed and inaccurate. As much as I wanted to partner with SWA, the proposal that was offered contained numerous fatal flaws.
What is done is done. Or in this case, not done.
Best of luck to the gents at SWA. Sincerely.
As for us at F9, I actually saw people hi-five and cheer that Republic "won". Cheering? Republic? This is like a nightmare, but when you wake up from the bad dream your reality is actually worse.
