Stapled to the bottom? Doubt it. Allegheny-Mohawk should protect you.

Absolutely, I would fully expect the SWA screw job. I think it’s going to come down to Airplanes. Who cares about business models and overlap. SWA painted themselves into a nasty corner. New type of aircraft is the only option. Who the airline will be??? I don’t think anyone knows.

That merger would be crazy. You could go to any major Legacy hub and destroy them

You do realize that f9 would have been better off if they would have let swa buy them years ago instead of ending up with the crapshow that was republic. First rule of swa buying you is always take the first offer because they get worse from there. That being said I highly doubt swa is buying us.

If we hadn’t taken the offer and been bought by Southwest, Frontier wouldn’t exist anymore. Southwest didn’t want us to diversify their fleet they wanted to shut us down.
