You don't put on a headset and talk to the rampers when you jumpseat?

Had a three hour sit in BWI the other day and learned that while a bit under capitalized, SWA is very keen on mergers and acquisitions.

From what I've learned this far in my career it's that whatever a pilot says is likely to happen is exactly what will not happen.

Are you kidding, ? INDIGO has plenty of cash, they would scare the F9 Pilots into concessions...

Yep. Private company with no public financials. Franke is the master puppeteer

Indigo Partners just sold their interest in Wizz back in February for roughly $650 million.
Plus roughly $780 million F9 has in cash,
and who knows how much Indigo has stashed under their mattress.
I’m not saying they will keep running F9 in the red indefinitely, who knows what they are thinking.
They are ruthless and greedy. They will do what makes them the most money. Mergers, buyouts, cut their losses and sell out, or shut down, who knows. All of those plus other options are all on the table I’m sure.
All they care about is the almighty dollar and acquiring more of it.

Which is exactly why I don't see them taking any Govt Money if it includes such things Executive compensation limits and clauses that state you can't sell or merge for five years etc..... (though I'm sure there is a lawyer somewhere that can get around that)
