SWA management promised they would kill any deal that did not have a labor agreement. SWA management lived up to their promise despite losing what they saw as a profitable venture.
Republic promised they would put their best offer on the table and fight to acquire F9. They did just that and ended up the victor of the auction.
In the end everyone got exactly what they were promised. For better or worse everybody delivered what they said they would. It does not always end up this way and to all involved, congratulations.

"Everyone got what they wanted" I read that eveywhere, where are you guys getting that from???
I bet the mojority of F9 pilots would MUCH rather be stapled to the bottom of Southwest's senioriy list than a fair merger with republic... I know I would. The F9 guys were stuck in the middle with 2 few options
(A) join Southwest at the bottom
(B) join a regional in the middle
I'd take option A any day
The Frontier guys wanted the Southwest deal, not Republic, no matter the circumtances..... as someone said, the Southwest poolies were the only victors.
