SWAPA fought to keep the Morris guys, as the right thing to do. They will do it again for the F9 guys. If SWA wins the August 10th auction, F9 will most likely operate for a couple years as they are now. We (SWA) are in the middle of our RNP transition (the final stage which will take a lot of seat / sim time in the big-D), once that is complete (Q4 '10 ish), and once the economy turns around we'll see WN take off again with regards to growth.

Once that happens, we'll have an asset of 700 plus "Southwest" pilots to draw into the fold. I figure once the integration starts, it'll probably happen rapidly. Dunno on Lynx nor the SWA poolies. This is all JMHO.

If F9 guys would rather accept the RAH bid, just let your Union Prez know.

I am gonna sit and wait, there is little I can do, but vote my conscience.
