What do they want?

All that cash for 8%! He could have bought more than 5 whole Spirits with that money. And talk about an industry laggard with managment that needs to go...

(Can't belive your market cap is 40 times ours 😢, it was 6 billion vs 28 billion end of 2014, and when you hit top cap at 36B mid '21 we were still 4B).

I'll take Bob and Gary any day before allowing Elliot to put their minions in there. If that happens concessions will start not long after.

Over a Hedge Fund that has been involved TWA, WorldCom and Enron restructuring, look what happen to all those companies. Gone. You bet I would. I'll take Bob and Gary over any Hedge fund clowns they come up with.

a hedge fund that has put your clowns on notice that they better deliver now or never? Otherwise the 3 of you would be happy sitting idly by waiting for Boeing to get their act together. Maybe they'll grow a pair this week...

Your Mean A hedge fund?

SWA has been successful for over 50 years, and your worried about this? This company went through Persian Gulf War, 9/11 and never filed bankruptcy, this is bump in the road. But if you get your wish and the minions you're cheerleading for get their wish there will be more than 3 people you need to worry about, you better be worried about at least 10% of this pilot group or more. This Elliot group does not have a very good track record of turning anything around. If anything they are pump and dump operation IMO. Also did not know Bob and Gary Kelly managed Boeing.
