No you had a piece a crap airline(AWA) with no future i.e(weak profits if good times with terribly compensated employees and operating as the #2 dog to Southwest in both of its hubs see an opportunity in merging with an airline restructuring in the highest yielding markets in th country with an international network and had over the last few years received 1.7 billion in annual employee concessions including pensions. Large funds and capital investment groups were willing to invest over a billion in US Airways and AWA just became the shag seat covers tossed in on the car that the money was being put down on, paid by new owners. AWA pulled in a few extra dollars and they got to be part of the ride instead of sitting on the shelf and being in the same boat Frontier is in today.

Wow, with such genius, it is no wonder pilots are making crap wages. It must be hard to think you are a wheeler dealer out buying companies and getting paid peanuts to fly airplanes. Why doesn't Lakeshore and Par Capital, and AC Holdings give you the millions you deserve for being the mover and shaker behind putting the deal together?
