Actually, it was GK who came to Fornaro looking to make a deal.

In all, Leonard talked to Kelleher four times about doing a deal. And then, when Kelleher stepped down as CEO, Leonard approached Jim Parker, the then-new CEO of Southwest, on two other occasions.

“Bob did this deal,” Leonard said of Fornaro. “What I did was a failure. I didn’t get it done in six attempts. But Bob’s latest round of conversations with Southwest resulted in a merger.” The announcement caught the industry by surprise. But probably the people who were most surprised were the executives of Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc.

Looks like BOB did the deal. By-the-way PCL I thought you would be working on SLI? What are you doing on FI(wasteoftime).com?

Over easy eggs. Some coffee and OJ. All while trying to multi task watching tv and using the ipad.

Mmmm, sugary cereal. You should try the "Malt O Meal" Marshmallow Maties. Damn tasty! A lot like Cocoa Puffs with Lucky Charms marshmallows.

I'm not involved in SLI talks. Besides, FI is always good for a few laughs.

Did you even read your own link? Leonard has been gone for about three years now. There were no talks in the intervening time frame, and then GK called Bob, not the other way around. From the article:

"Then, on April 21 this year, Southwest’s current CEO, Gary Kelly, called Bob Fornaro, who had succeeded Leonard as AirTran’s CEO, and said: “Let’s talk.”

I think the article meant "GK returned the repeated sales calls from AirTran and called Bob Fornaro, who had succeeded Leonard as AirTran’s CEO, and said: Let’s talk.”
