Southwest Airlines and AirTran Airways Pilots' Unions Reach Agreement in Principle - Yahoo! Finance

Southwest Airlines is pleased to announce an agreement in principle between the Southwest Airlines Pilots' Association (SWAPA), the union representing Southwest Airlines Pilots and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), the union representing the pilots of AirTran Airways. This agreement in principle, subject to the respective unions' board approval and membership ratification, would integrate the two groups' seniority lists. Southwest Airlines finalized closing of the acquisition of AirTran Holdings, Inc. on May 2, 2011.

Very impressive. Hardly seems possible.
The Southwest management guy is either the greatest mediator in the history of the universe or the company simply made an offer they couldn't refuse --> some serious coins. That'd be good for all of us.

Either way - Congratulations guys.

From what I hear, no one at SWA is going to be unhappy.
