I agree that Allegheny-Mohawk is a game changer for mergers. Is this a merger? I don't think anybody here knows the answer to that.
You have hit the nail on the head here. Not that we have seen wording in writing that would bind SWA to any action yet. The wording in the Q & A yesterday said nothing about a merger, they said "separate entity".
Lawyers are paid to find paths that benefit their employer, I'm sure many hours were spent looking at the wording in "Allegheny-Mohawk" to make sure that MERGER or any other term that would tie their hands was not used in this. . . purchase.
We'll see what the wording of the winning bid ends up being.
