Whatever helps you sleep at night..que WHACKMASTER in 3..2..1..
Bottom line..SWAPA and SWA mgmt held a gun to AT's head and made them an offer they couldn't refuse. Agree to an imposed SWAPA SLI..or be liquidated as part of a shell company.
Don't sugarcoat it now..just own it..it is what it is.
This business is ruthless. You guys were the the acquiring carrier..and you wanted access to ATL. To the victor go the spoils of war..so to speak.
My only point was that AS could expect the same treatment in the event of a SWA buyout.
And please keep your flags to yourself..thanks for the 717's..and have a nice day.
