Everyone has their opinion of who got the better end of the deal between FAT and RSA pilots. My observation is that there are plenty of both who believe they got screwed—so the final deal is somewhat close to what should have happened. Just hope to not go through another - even though a merger with AS would be relatively harmless for east coast employees like myself.

Much of Rickair’s post is correct—but the above statement is incorrect. The kompany may have implied the SLI was as good as it was going to get/ntegration was going to be delayed—but no chance of a liquidation.

Alaska pilots: if SWA buys you, TAKE IT TO ARBITRATION and don’t fall for the threats.

That advice is against Alaska Airlines Pilots SOP. The current SOP is to fall for managements threats and do what’s good for the company, not the pilot.. so in the unlikely event of a SWA acquisition of As, SWA pilots will gain massively off the backs of Alaskan pilots caving to management pressure

For the record, I hope WN chases organic growth vs merger. Go for markets, but not the whole enchilada. I hope to someday be off Forever Reserve.

Then what happens with Horizon & Skywest as our (SWA) scope would prohibit them. Hmmmm. That might be a deal killer.

Could QX be sold off at a reasonable wash? Or simply liquidated if their assets have value?
Would SWAPA allow QX/OO flying to remain during integration for an orderly wind-down? Maybe if they thought the SLI would go in their favor?
Not show-stoppers, all could be hashed out.

Is it worth it to SWA to buy out OO's relatively short-term contract?

however, I dont believe sw is buying AS or anybody for that matter. I think they are going huge on organic growth.
