What did you have for breakfast, OYS? I'm having Cocoa Krispies with the kids. Mmmmm....chocolatey...

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.”

Haven't ever tried those, sounds good.

And Slaquer--over easy eggs? I've never seen why people like them that way. Scrambled with some shredded cheddar and some Texas Pete hot sauce. My mouth is watering just typing it!

Cold pizza is a good fix for a hangover but not for most eating situations. For God's sake, buy a microwave, man!

Enjoying a nice cold Yuengling here in the PHL. Why can't we get this stuff in Texas?

He had to call, he hung up him 12 times by accident. He didn't need his Furnace Ducts cleaned, an obvious mistake.

I heard from a flight attendant's sister, who does hair for a check airman's third wife, that the check airman needed to make money on his expiring options. She said she said that the pilot called up Herb and asked to get er done to make one last splash on the stock. She said, she said, he said Herb, asked Colleen if she want to rub the bottle of culture one more time and bring on new brothers and sisters of Hotlanta and pull off the greatest comeback/move since John Travolta's return in Pulp Fiction, and make this a reality.

Sounds legit.

You'll be eating lower seniority for breakfast soon. It won't taste great.

Oh no you didddddnnnnn't. SWA/FO still lives in the past anyways. I think SWA/FO got OWNED. Eat that for breakfast!

You will have to have your own ducts cleaned after reviewing the eventual arbitrated SLI award. The reactions on this board will be classic.

Huevos rancheros--now there is a perfect way to cook eggs. Try Arandas Guadalajara Taqueria in Austin. Amazing.
