I think the current oil price has everyone right now just holding their breath. Just a guess but I could totally see SWA just kicking the tires, looking for the regular SWA deal.
We have all seen this before though, you could be yanking gear for your classmates 😱…. Seems like right now you are pretty safe though.
I seriously doubt I’ll be yanking gear for my AS classmates. Not sure if you’re even still there. Having been over there and now thankfully over here, I’d say in my opinion it’s a snowballs chance in hell that AS will ever takeover WN. I don’t think the new CEO is ready to leave his new job after being a 30 year WN veteran. Now if WN have a balance sheet that resembled AAs then maybe I would be concerned. On a side note, WN luvs AS pilots coming over. They’re glad I’m here.
