SWA/AT future at Risk

Mmmmmmmmmm.

Interesting how the Southwest pilots like to gloat about F9's current situation yet overlook the fact that the Frontier pilots were so taken aback by SWAPA's, "offer" that they said, "no thanks, we'll go with the commuter airline instead." Must have been one heck of an impression with the F9 pilots.....

Have you talked to many F9'ers? Everyone that I talked to says that some senior dudes were the ones that flushed the deal for all of them and they would have done anything to ensure they went to SWA instead of Republic. If you really think they wanted Republic, you are smoking some good hoochie!!

If they brought the planes and seats with them, and there was "no bump, no flush", how would it affect me if they were integrated into our list?

If you think your 5 year Captains deserve a spot ahead of our native 11 year FO's you're crazy as hell.

That includes your November 2001 hires Ty.

They got the best shake at a regional airline they could hope for! If they'd have come over here they'd have 1700 more behind them shortly.

Which raises an interesting point, Gup. Would you guys be purchasing (merging) us if the F9 deal had worked out?

Thankfully, Gary Kelly won't let you guys screw this one up like you did with the last one. He learned his lesson, too important for our survival.

 

[GuppyWN]

I say YES we would have. Gary wants ATL and it's cheaper to buy you.

This joint isn't anywhere near it's growth potential. Bringing a bunch of Trannies along for the ride sounds like fun if we can work out the SLI.

I feel so dirty and cheap now.

Exactly-someone who gets it.

Meaning someone who agrees with your partisan view.

Their integration with you will not affect your QOL in any way, shape or form.

Certainly you are educated enough on the subject to know that this isn't true.

Very disappointing.
