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.

Way to live up to the standard. Always entertaining.

All 3 MEC's argued in the beginning of JCBA that this was a merger, not an acquisition. But if you ask a 9E guy, he believes it is.

Who has any idea how Bloch views this situation, we will find out soon though, I hope.

20th now?

Sigh.
