That isn't a fair response, and he/she tactfully responded. I can see how someone could be disappointed when "SWA" is mentioned in the same sentence with little 'ole F9. The fact of the matter is no one at FAPA said "no" to SWA. The two parties accomplished what they could accomplish in a few hours (actually a lot was accomplished) and they agreed to meet again in Dallas. That meeting never happened since SWA (the Company, not the pilots) pulled their bid and the auction ended.

An accurate and tactful response to his post is this;

FAPA didn't scuttle anything, the "domicile" issues (ironically) were one of the few things that were actually resolved during the late night web call. There simply wasn't a deal to be had, the suitor walked away before the labor parties could meet again.

With that being said, and the chances of us merging with someone else highly probable after an IPO, I think FAPA will succeed in accomplishing the best possible result for the Frontier pilots.

We are here, aren't we?
