No, they agreed to it because they had a gun to their heads. That is hardly an agreement. But your comment about that is deflection. The point is that they rejected the "first offer", like you advocate doing, and got their heads handed to them (by an unscrupulous SWAPA and SWA management team.) M-B is dead/irrelevant. SWA created the end around. We could do that with anybody we merge with going forward. I'm not a lawyer nor in a HI Xpress, and I could shoot it (M-B) full of holes.
