F9, WN, and RAH-Everyone got what they wanted
In the end everyone should have a new respect for those that went to bat for them.
FAPA told their membership we will not accept a staple, they fought for their members and delivered exactly what they promised.
SWAPA promised their membership that they would not allow F9 pilots in front of their current members. They delivered on that promise. SWA management promised they would kill any deal that did not have a labor agreement. SWA management lived up to their promise despite losing what they saw as a profitable venture.
Republic promised they would put their best offer on the table and fight to acquire F9. They did just that and ended up the victor of the auction.
In the end everyone got exactly what they were promised. For better or worse everybody delivered what they said they would. It does not always end up this way and to all involved, congratulations.

Management at WN will get what they want one way or the other, IMHO there will be growth in the next 18-24 months, and unfortunately (and this is not wishful thinking by any means) a few folks will be out of a job in DEN and MKE. If there is one thing for sure is that WN is extremely territorial. Best of luck to the F9 guys, I think their senior pilots just sold them up the river.
