The RAH BoD had a choice of recouping their investment by just sinking F9 and ridding themselves of a bunch of bad RJ's or extracting concessions and recouping their investment via profits. They chose the latter and F9 lived to fly another day. It is really a miracle that we are still in business.
I was following this train wreck from the sidelines and can't believe RAH chose the latter either. I wonder what F9 management/negotiators said to survive...those people did outstanding work!
