Thanks my memory on that was fuzzy they did buy them after bankruptcy and the stipulation was that it “doesn't include any aircraft, facilities or employees of ATA." I had a buddy that worked at ata and had an interview but I guess a number of ata guys they interviewed were let’s say “unpleasant” in the interview and so swa said no more ata guys. That parts all rumor from my buddy (so who actually knows) but he didn’t get hired.
