My understanding is that Bloch views this as an acquisition, not a merger. Republic, whether they "saved" Frontier or not was done as an acquisition. NWA/DAL was a straight merge. I have no credible source just heard the same thing from a few different guys who don't know each other (maybe they hang our around the same water cooler). Anyways, I don't understand why people are still getting wrapped up in this, there's nothing that can be done by any of us. Sure if I get screwed I will be unhappy and I expect a XJ or 9L pilot to feel the same way, but lets keep it in the realm of whats really happening here.
