No one is arguing the merits or the reasons for the merger. Considering what is going on with the legacies and the regionals, consolidation within the LCCs was inevitable.

What is being argued is that the process itself is not going as smoothly as your management had hoped and what they have you believe. Will those issues get resolved? Of course... eventually. But having gone through our own merger -- with its own issues -- and from the outside looking in, it appears that the management you flaunt so proudly has made some missteps or at least some miscalculations that, in the near term, will hit your bottom line.

That's the way I and some of the others who have posted here see it. You obviously have a different perspective, but don't discount what others outside your sphere have to say.
