Since swa tried to buy f9 circa 2009 the pilots would have still had a job (probably not a good integration) but probably still better then republic running them into the ground.

I don’t think Southwest purchased ATA. ATA filed for chapter 7 and after liquidating, WN bid for and purchased some of their assets (gates in MDW and slots at LGA). They did interview and hire a bunch of ATA folks across many departments, however.
