I think both sides have learned that leaks and rumors do nothing to forward the process. Don't get all spun up about something that may or may not be the solid truth. I believe you will see a simultaneous release of any proposed deal and an identical time frame on both sides for education and a vote. But, that is only my opinion since everyone is extremely tight lipped about it currently other than to say negotiations are ongoing.

Southwest did just put out a news bulletin. Its interesting that for all the bluster about selling off Airtran they just announced the only increases in flying the next two years will be Airtrans international operations. Domestic flying is going to be cut.

Slight numerical shift (~300) in favor of the AT guys. Some of the C&Rs changed/eliminated. They're working on the implemetation langauge, which as anyone knows, is a sticky wicket with a lot of potential loopholes.
Deal still subject to ALPA/SWAPA MEC approval and subsequent membership ratification. You probably won't hear any more about it until that point.
That is all...
