Carl,

What's worse, someone that uses a lot of words to explain a situation to a group of rather slow learners or the guy that feels the need to quote the entire missive he's complaining about - without ever reading the post?

PLEASE, follow the simple instructions suggested to you and read at least one of the documents recommended to you.

There.......was.......no.......SWA.......deal. It.......was.......never.......an.......option.
SWA.......couldn't.......match.......RAH's.......d eal.......as.......RAH.......drove.......the...... .price........of.......the.......transaction...... ...out.......of.......what.......SWA.......was.... ...willing.......to........pay.......by........sur rendering.......their........$150MM........BK..... ...creditor.......claim.

Take your time, read it several times, read the EPIC docs, even just one of them, ponder, consider if you should continue to comment on a subject that 1) You know nothing about and 2) Are unable or unwilling to spend 30 researching.

You can do it, just read the documents slowly with a dictionary handy and you'll remove a point of confusion from your life and be ever so much happier.
