IIRC, GK gave SWAPA/FAPA something like 36-48 hours (can't remember exactly, but it was a very unrealistic timeline) to come up with an SLI agreement.

One of the rumors around here was that GK just wanted to get a look at their books, and then used the pilots inability to come to an agreement as a reason to back out of the deal.

Also, IIRC, the FAPA guys were pretty dug in and wouldn't even come to the table for most, or all, of the short time given.

I’d say most of that is accurate from what I recall. I believe they also wanted something like a 10 year fence around Denver which was a non starter as well.

I remember reading comms that it was the Bankruptcy judge that issued a 72-hour deadline.

That could be. It's been a while and I've slept since then. In any case, it was an unrealistically short time frame to come up with any kind of SLI.

If Southwest really wanted to buy F9, they would have. They didn't. It didn't have anything to do with an SLI, that was an excuse.

I agree. Like I said a few posts ago, the rumor was that GK just wanted to look at the books, didn't like what he saw, and blamed the lack of SLI as an excuse to back out of the deal.

Not true, could have had a SLI that was 75% agreeable by inverting their seniority list and stapling it to the bottom of ours ....haha...somewhat joking somewhat true
